About this Exploration:

The Barnes Mercantile is closed for renovation and will re-open sometime in April, 2014.
 
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.
