The barn was used for barn dances, hay storage, and milking cows. When my dad was young he would play his accordion with others to form the band for the barn dances. He liked to play Little Brown Jug on the accordion.

Limestone rock is the bottom and Cyprus wood is the top and we covered it with tin as we wanted to preserve the barn as the wood was deteriorating. My great granddad and granddad built the barn with horses. 

I helped my dad put hay up in the barn back in the 60's. My great grandparents lived in a cellar until another house was built in which the cows and hogs lived on the bottom while they built the house we live in now. It has 1907 on it. It is 2 story, all limestone with a full size attic built on solid rock. The horse barn has 1898 on it all limestone. My grandma and grandpa Richter finished the house.

July 2022 update from Erin Dowell:

It only took 8 years to complete. Our Peterson Elementary Barn Quilt series, "Thank you, Mr. Peterson!", is officially on display. Back in 2013-2014 I wanted to make a barn quilt with my 5th graders. I was able to contact the Peterson family and I was able to talk to a great granddaughter of Mr. Daniel Peterson, the immigrant from Sweden who donated his land from his quarter section for a school here in 1875. She had a hand-stitched quilt by Mr. Peterson's daughter-in-law, And so began our quilt series, with four different designs based on her hand-stitched quilt. We chose our Peterson school colors of blue and yellow. Quilt blocks were made, from left to right, by the Peterson 5th grade classes of 2014 (Class of 2021), 2015 (Class of 2022), 2016 (this year's incoming seniors, Class of 2023), and 2017 (juniors, Class of 2024).

According to Renae, "My parents, John and Linda Grame, bought the farm in 1967 from the Hills.
We purchased it from my mother in 2012. The barn has four stalls in it that were used for milk cows and hay was put up in the hayloft. some of the existing equipment for putting the hay up is still in the barn. My father used it as a farrowing house for his hog operation for a while. My husband and I have created stairs to the loft and added an extensive lighting system and cleaned it out really nicely. We have been using it for family gatherings and my husband uses it to create wooden bowls on a laythe. The original building is made out of wood. The support beams are tree trunks and at least part of the wood came from an old box car."

Renae adds, "I originally chose this pattern because I thought it was striking and also I have a passion for renewable energy and I thought the square with in the Square looked a little bit like an old-fashioned Dutch windmill. Additionally the lines going from point to point looks like a cross and they were symbols of our family Christian heritage in the Lutheran Church. We chose purple and white as prominent colors because of our K State alumni status. We also chose the forest green because lining the driveway of the farm are large old cedar trees. My father named the farm Cedar Lane Farm back in the 60's when my parents purchased it. The two brown or tan colors I chose because they blended well with the barn.
