Koessl Granary

This building is one of the newest of our acquisitions. Although it may not look like a typical granary, it once was part of the Ed Koessl Sr. farm, which was at the junction of Hwy. 57 and Rt. 42. That farm, which is now the site of the Birchwood Lodge, also contained the Koessl Barn and Machine Shed that were moved to our museum grounds.  

The granary is in the process of being restored and will at some point be used for displays of additional artifacts. The granary was once moved across the road from the Koessel farm, and it went through a number of uses — at one time, it housed the Domicile gift shop, and at another time it was used as a rental cottage. When the most recent owner, Jim Salinsky, decided to build a condominium development on the property, he donated the granary to Corner of the Past.
