The Objective of the Troy Sale Barn:

-
To make the building available to community groups and others for but not limited to education, wedding and receptions, drama, music, dancing, farmer’s markets, quilt shows, sport activities, banquets, etc.
Our Current Goals
-
Repair the historic retaining wall, complete the kitchen patio, design outdoor entrance to arena, install new roof and obtain an additional parking lot.
