BERLIN — The final work on the historic Maynesboro Stud Barn was completed last week, marking the end of an 18-year restoration effort by the Berlin and Coos Historical Society.
Over the years, the society said it has invested $221,000 in restoring the barn with the money coming from a variety of sources. There has also been 2,500 hours of volunteer labor invested in the project.
