Question

History of Mint Barrel Barn

Answer

The Mint Barrel Barn is a stunning, gambrel style barn that was built in 1910. The barn’s earliest years are a mystery, but in later years it was used as a mint still. Huge quantities of local peppermint crops were distilled into mint oil, stored in large barrels, and sold across the nation to manufacturers of gum, mouthwash, toothpaste, and candy. Companies like Wrigley’s, Crest, Colgate, and LifeSavers paid top dollar for mint oil for their products. Kapri Maupin (Fulfer) upgraded and restored this beautiful property in 2018. Her dream was to offer a warm and memorable gathering space for family and friends. John and I are so grateful for her, and her family's hard work for our venue. We love, how much they love, love. Thank you Kapri, Reina, and Family.
