This 1895 limestone opera house is home to the Barnes Mercantile.
Augustus Hiram Dearborn saw the need of a store in Barnes, a town of a few hundred people or less. He gathered the limestone for the building from his farm south of Barnes. He also built a lime kiln used in the construction. He called his business "Barnes Mercantile" and opened for business in 1895.
