Looking For A Barn

My fiancee and I are exploring the idea of having our reception in a barn.  

Does anyone know of any in the area that would make for a good reception venue?  It will need to accommodate between 250-300 people.  Would love to hear your thoughts!  

Thanks in advance!

    I know there is a barn at Living History Farms, and someone posted something on here not too long ago about a barn, so I would look down a couple of posts and you might be able to find it.

    also the Simpson Barn in Johnston.

    Fantastic thank you!  The Stonehaven barn is awesome.  I'm just wondering if it's challenging to get everyone out there.

    Stonehaven fits about 100
    Living History Farms fits about 125-150

    You will want to check with the Simpson Barn ... I am not sure how many it fits.

    Another idea is the Happy Apple in Norwalk -- they are basically a big pole barn and can fit up to 400.  They are right on a little pond, and have a small "fire ring" that you can use.  Its a country/barnlike setting ... Might be worth checking into!
