BERLIN — Work has begun on the historic Maynesboro Stud Barn and when it is complete, it will be the final piece in the Berlin and Coos Historical Society’s two decade effort to save and restore the two historic former Brown Company barns.

Both the Maynesboro barn and the older Thompson barn, located off the East Milan Road, are on the N.H. Register of Historic Places. The two are an integral part of the country’s early Arabian Horse industry and Berlin’s logging history.
