By Kaye Phillips and Seth Bixel

This will be a big week at the SCHS Heritage Center construction site. The Bixel/Basinger Barn will start to take shape on the foundation (PHOTO of progress). The sky crane will return. The sides are going to go back up. This barn was on Phillips Road in our Swiss Settlement for 173 years. Tomorrow starts the next 173 years plus, at the Schumacher Homestead on Bixel Road.
