Jerome Jorissen, co-founder of the village, donated the barn. The barn was torn down at his Riverton Township farm. The beams were numbered for identification of their location and reconstructed at Historic White Pine Village. There are no nails or spikes used in the construction of the building framework, typical of the barns built in the first half of the 20th century.

The barn completes the farmstead setting and displays agricultural artifacts on several levels inside. Outside, many pieces of farm machinery represent past eras of our local farming history.
