Built in 1860, the Markley Barn located in Mifflin Township, Richland County Ohio is a fine example of a German  style barn built by early settlers of Prussian/German descendentry. The barn contains it's original timbers, foundation and autographed markings of the original builders. Unfortunately, the structure has suffered the indelible torrents of the ages. The south/west siding is on its last throws. The foundation is slowly shifting the entire barn. The joints and pins are buckling under the pressure. The time for preservation is now. The call is loud. This beautliful German barn needs your help.
