A Barn Saved by Love and Legacy | Lincoln News

A century-old Nebraska barn, nearly destined for flames, was saved by a family’s love and grit—transformed into the Bar N Chapel, Saloon and Dance Hall, where romance, history, and heritage collide. Built in 1915 and passed down through generations, it now hums with life: electric lights, new siding, horse stalls, and even a pulpit for services. Carved initials from its past whisper stories of Walter Nielsen, while saddles from three generations of Kohtz men honor the family’s legacy. Their first celebration inside? In 2011. And they’re determined to keep this sacred space alive—for decades to come. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
