The Carriage Barn is located beside the Sheller Log House.  Both are right in the middle of Smithville on State Route 585.  This barn was originally behind the Sheller home on East Main Street.   It is believed to have been built in the late 1800s.   It is made of rough sawn lumber and pegged construction.  At one time it was used as a horse stable for the stagecoach on Portage Trail [now St Rt 585].  Sam is using the lower level for The Village Pottery -- a pottery demonstration area. The upstairs is exhibit space.  A hand operated elevator, acquired from the Rutt & Amstutz Grain Elevator, has been installed.
