THE HUTCHESON BARN
The Hutcheson Family arrived in the Mims area during the 1920s where they established citrus groves and raised cattle. The barn was built during the 1940s of heart pine cross-sawed lumber and recycled materials such as wood telephone poles and parts of old tin signs with a tin roof. It was used to shelter cattle, store feed and farm equipment, and barrels of "home brew." The Hutcheson Barn will be located near the Cracker House and Oliver's Camp House as part of the "Farmstead". Farm tools and implements will be exhibited as well as displays about citrus and agriculture industries of North Brevard County.
