Barnacopia

Very unique atmosphere. Loved the cars, and so much more to look at! Detail in decoration is amazing, lots of planning for architecture, memories in FARMING. Yes, there is a classy elevator for 4 floors! It's own sleeping quarters and movie theater. Great time

Absolutely loved this place! We went for a graduation party and it was beautiful inside and out. I grew up on a farm so I loved seeing all the decor and cars! The set up was so neat and it was great to read the story on each car and see all the photos. Also loved going into the silo! Such a great all around experience! Cant wait to go back sometime and snap more pictures.

Great venue for a wedding party! Beautiful and unique! Very well put together place! Only downfall that took a star away is their location... Wayy too far out into the middle of Nowhere! Had to actually drive down a dirt road at one point, and it's all pitch black at nighttime, lol. Of course trying to find your way around these country roads, since they chose such a too far out from any major highway or even any town, piece of property to build this great place on! Lol. I get that they may want it to be "authentic country appeal" but many guests agreed with me that the location is super inconvenient. I would never want to burden my guest with such a high probability of getting lost and frustrated by having to drive for so very long on twisting turning, super bumpy, back country, pitch black roads. I honestly would never want to drive out there again because of how big a factor that way too far out from Anywhere location is... Which is too bad as it is such a well done Beautiful venue!

Stayed overnight as a Bed and Breakfast guest and the experience was extremely relaxing. Entire place to ourselves to relax and watch movies all night on their large screen, and we were even able to get pizza delivered. Rachel was extremely friendly answering my questions and booking the overnight stay, and Megan was great checking us in and showing us around. Nothing else like it in Northern Illinois.

My husband's family rented out Barnacopia for Thanksgiving and honestly, words aren't enough. Three floors of antique cars, unique sets, Christmas decorations the decorations change per season as well as an adorable 50s diner and breakfast nook with coca cola decor unfortunately forgot to get a photo the bottom floor is large and suitable for 10-20 round tables. Lots of John deer decor in one section. The middle floor is where the cars are kept, as well as a fairly large movie screen with couches. The top floor has a bed, full bath, games and a living room area set up for kids to play in. There is also a silo with two bedrooms with baths and a library at the top. Fully recommend for a family gathering, weekend getaway or wedding!

Took the tour with Mr Bocker and enjoyed seeing the antique tractors, cars and collectibles. The barn itself was cool to see but highlights were the tractor in the floor near the entrance and the one waaaay up in the cupola, spinning circles like a lighthouse beacon. The silo B&B was neat too, especially the library on the top floor. Well worth the $10 entrance fee. Note tho, be sure to call ahead to an your visit, walk-ins aren't often permitted and there really aren't any set hours they're open or for tours to be offered.

It is a fabulous event center, plenty of room! There are so many different items of interest to check out from antique cars, tractors, clothing, etc! I have had two family members have their complete weddings here. Both were absolutely beautiful! We didn't mind the drive to get there!

Loved Barnacopia! We drove nine hours for the sole purpose of attending a birthday party. This venue is amazing. Wish we had more time to explore the entire facility. One of the best kept secrets of the midwest.

I was recently here for a wedding. This place is incredible. Plenty of space for a large wedding party. Fish tank. Classic cars and memorabilia. The only down side is that we couldn't find anyone from the venue. Can't wait to return though!

What a wonderful venue! Historical, beautiful, and unique. The tractor under the floor to welcome you was brilliant!
