Wientjes Barn and Ranch Yard

The Wientjes Barn and Ranch Yard are a historic farm property in rural Campbell County, South Dakota, U.S.A. It consists of a barn and ranch yard located amid other farm buildings near the junction of 299th Avenue and 117th Street, west-southwest of Mound City. The barn, built in 1909, is a large wood frame structure with a gambrel roof and integral shed extensions on the long sides, bringing the structure to a shape that is 64 feet (20 m) square. The yard is divided into several sections, with corrals south and west of the barn, with a calf shed measuring 50 by 25 feet (15.2 m × 7.6 m) where the two corrals meet. The barn was built by Claus Wientjes, a Dutch immigrant, and is a high quality example of the increasingly rare rural South Dakota barn.[2]
