ABOUT THE LINDAAS BARN
The barn, built in 1949 from lumber salvaged from a much larger barn built in 1900, stands on the Elroy Lindaas Farm near Mayville, North Dakota. The farm has a history that began in 1878 when Endre Lindaas, a Norwegian immigrant, took up residence as part of the United States Homestead Act. In 1881, he married Antonette Monson Bye who was born in southern Minnesota to Norwegian immigrant parents. They raised six children; one of them being Eddie Adolph Lindaas, who took over the farm in 1917. Eddie Married Emma Emelia Bestul, who was born and raised on a farm near Iola and Scandinavia, Wisconsin.
In 1956, their son Elroy and his wife Janice Roberta Pederson took over the farm operation. They continued to live on the farmstead after retirement.
Around 1989, a group of Elroy's musician friends began using the barn loft as a good place to play music. As time progressed, word got around and the attendance increased to a point that many came from 100 miles away to enjoy the music and dancing. The facility began adding improvements such as a first rate floor, better stairway, seating around the perimeter, a well lit stage, a sound system, rest rooms, coffee, sodas and potluck snacks.
Each summer, the barn continues to provide a great place for performers as well as a cozy place to enjoy family style fun. There is a "No Alcoholic Beverage" rule that assures that young and old alike may enjoy the events.
Everyone is welcome; Come and enjoy a unique social gathering!
