====== Boone Fowler Rogers Barn ======
Located on Belleview Road, the Boone Fowler Rogers Barn was built c.[[1840]]. It is one of the [[boone county|county's]] finest examples of the English side-entry barn: one of Kentucky's predominant barn types from the early 19th through the mid-20th centuries.
The barn lies at the terminus of a picturesque farm lane that follows Willoughby Creek; it was originally part of the alignment of the Belleview-Petersburg Turnpike. The surrounding farm has been in the [[Rogers family]] since their ancestor, William Rogers, came to Boone County from Virgina.
The barn is an imposing structure of rectangular form with side-gabled metal roof, on piers of drylaid fieldstone. It retains much of its original vertical board siding, never painted or oiled, in good condition. The interior features the classic three-bay plan and incorporates a huge "summer beam" used in threshing operations.
The barn was added to the [[National Register]] in 2000.
