The Elk Grove Historical Society's Barn Project aims to reconstruct the historic hay barn that once stood near the Elk Grove House and Stage Stop at Heritage Park. The completed barn will preserve the community's agricultural heritage by housing historical collections and serving as a vibrant community event venue. Utilizing reclaimed historic redwood materials and inspired by Elk Grove's early history, the project reflects the Society's commitment to education, preservation, and community engagement.
