The Mint Barrel Barn is a stunning, gambrel style barn that was built in 1910. The barn’s earliest years are a mystery, but in later years it was used as a mint still. Huge quantities of local peppermint crops were distilled into mint oil, stored in large barrels, and sold across the nation to manufacturers of gum, mouthwash, toothpaste, and candy. Companies like Wrigley’s, Crest, Colgate, and LifeSavers paid top dollar for mint oil for their products.
Since 2006, the Fulfer family has owned the barn, lovingly maintained it, and opened it up to friends and family as a warm and memorable gathering space for countless events. Owner, Kapri Maupin (Fulfer), wanted more people to be able to experience the history and make memories in the one-of-a-kind barn, so in 2018 she started upgrading and beautifully restoring the property. The barn now retains its historic beauty and is upgraded with all the amenities needed for a 21st century event.
Each event is personally managed by Kapri, who loves working with people and caters to each individual’s needs to make their experience the best it can be. Kapri’s genuine care, commitment, and dream to provide people with the opportunity to have a fairytale experience with the people they love the most, makes for an enjoyable planning process and unmatched event.
