  I'm originally from Ironton, so I know the area, but I'm not aware of any barn type venues.  The only thing that immediately came to mind are the shelter houses at Vesuvius Lake, but I don't know about the alcohol part.

  
  

  I found this in Proctorville (across the river from Huntington):  http://twincreeksfarms.com/

  
  

  Here is a list of possible venues around the tri-state:  http://www.herald-dispatch.com/news/briefs/x1076937421/Wedding-reception-sites-in-the-Tri-State

  
  

  The Heritage Farm Museum in Huntingon might work...  http://www.heritagefarmmuseum.com/pages/aa-weddings.html

  
  

  Good luck with the search!  I found these links within 10 minutes of online searching, so just keep changing the search terms and you might find more.

  Why are you being forced to have the wedding in Southeastern Ohio? What;s wrong with Lancaster? There are some fabulous place there. If you & FI are paying for the wedding by yourself you should plan the wedding you want to have. When you say "none" - does that include your parents? You might check the WV board too and ask about the Huntington area - http://forums.theknot.com/categories/local-wedding-boards_west-virginia GL!

  You could also try the Kentucky board too.

  If people weren't willing to drive 2 hours to my wedding so that I could have in the area that I lived in, then I would miss them on my wedding day. You are not desiring to have a destination wedding that could be costly and inconvenient - you just want to get married within 30 mins of where you live. You are not being rude or insensitive.

  
  

  I would plan the wedding in Lancaster and invite everyone. The people who really care about you will come and the rest - well do you really need people at your wedding who are more concerned about 2.5 hours of driving then being there to watch you and your FI unite in holy matrimony.

  
  

  That or elope. Save the money and run away to some fabulous location just the two of you. 

  
  

  I'm sorry your families are making being so difficult and incredibly rude. They are being jerks and you are sadly correct, they are suggesting you aren't worth a 2.5 hour drive - HOW RUDE! 

  
  

  I'd call their bluff...I think many of them will make the drive - they just hope you will cave and they won't have to...

  Check the Cincinnati board, I think there is a sticky up at the top of barns in the area for weddings. Just outside Wasgington Court house Ohio is the pine lodge, but that may not be close enough for your family either.
