Halloween Night 1946
The Silver Barn was very popular musical hangout for the local bands and singers. Built originally by local coal operator Fon Johnson. The Silver Barn was located just West of the Intersection of South Mayo Trail (we know today as U.S. 23) and Kentucky state route 611, just a few hundred feet East of Valley Court is another popular Cabin Motel and Cafe. The Silver Barn has a fitting name since the quick built structure was purchased from US Army Surplus. Most building contractors in the middle to late 1940’s know it as Quonset Hut.
The location for Sliver Barn is shown in photo above underlined in red and the topo map shown below is marked in yellow.
