Where was the Sweet-Marble barn on the Lippitt Farmstead originally located. The original owner was Eber Sherman? I am trying to trace the Sweet family who purchased the barn from Eber Sherman.

Below is a general overview of the barn's history. We may have more background in our Library. If you need more info, please contact us through our contact form at farmersmuseum.org/contact/ This barn is an English threshing barn, also known as a Yankee or Connecticut barn, which is typical of upstate New York in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The barn was first used by brothers Philip and Benjamin Sweet, who owned the farm (located in Laurens, New York) in succession from 1802 until sometime before 1850. The barn passed through several owners, and William C. Marble bought the land in 1918. The Farmers' Museum acquired the barn in 1997.
