This historic, depression-era dairy barn is relocated to Draper's Town Center and renovations for multi-purpose use by the community are complete - thanks to the generosity of many wonderful donors. The Day Barn has been donated to Draper City and is a very popular spot for family parties, dances, reunions, art shows, receptions, community gatherings, farmer's markets and more.

MOOOOOVING THIS SUNDAY!!!!!
YES! The Day Dairy Barn will be gettin' on down the road THIS Sunday, May 16th! Valgaardson Brothers house movers will begin the move at 7:00 am.
THE ROUTE - The barn will turn left onto 12300 S. go east to 800 E. and travel south one block to Pioneer Road (12400 S.) where it will turn and travel east until it reaches the parcel just to the east of the Fitzgerald House at approximately 1120 E. Pioneer Road.
The Barn will be "staged" (left on blocks) on the property while Wadsworth Construction and other wonderful donor partners prepare the site with footings and foundation. The barn will be slid into place and anchored at a later date.

SEE! It's a real "Barn Raising"!
.
It's true. Work has begun to move the barn! Drive down 12300 S. and check it out!
My husband was motoring by, saw some wood pulled off the barn and thought he was going to have to put up his dukes to defend it against a vandal. But it was our friends, the Valgaardson brothers, doing their magic to get the Day Barn ready for its move in just a few weeks.
We are so grateful for all who have donated and helped so far to help provide this meaningful contribution to the Draper community. Please check out our donor page. It is amazing to see just how many folks are participating in this fun new "barn raising"
Below is the rough plan for the barn. If you, or someone you know, can help with materials or labor for these phases, please contact us to talk about a possible in-kind donation. Of course, cash donations are still needed :)
