I heard a rumor, and its just that, that the flag from the barn in Owings is about to be auctioned at the auction house in Dunkirk....

Looks like they are tearing it down. Saw yesterday that one whole side is gone.

The barn is supposed to be moved to the other side of Rt 4 and preserved for its historical significance.

That was the original plan in 2016, but I only see indications that not enough money was raised to move it and any donations to the fundraiser were refunded. I can't find anything newer to contradict this. :sad:

I want to thank you for donating to the Rt4Barn fundraiser. We were not able to raise enough monies to move the barn, so we are refunding everyone’s donations. Because so much time has passed refunds must be done via check. Please send us your mailing address using rt4barn@gmail.com .

God Bless You & Your Family, Terry Quinn

Nope... being moved 50 feet... New barn wood & new painted flag. Old barn wood was sold and the flag & some wood is currently at the auction house.

They didn't raise enough to move across Rt. 4.

I did find this on FB. The flag from the old barn is being auctioned off.
