Behind the Barn Doors

The West Baton Rouge Museum is pleased to host Behind the Barn Doors, a series offered on the first Sundays of the month. The upcoming program will take place on Sunday, August 3, 2025 from 2 - 5 PM. Guests are invited into the Big Red Barn on the museum’s campus to enjoy demonstrations highlighting the craftsmanship of historic trades and agricultural practices.

Each month’s featured activities will range from old fashioned farm chores to blacksmithing, milling, woodworking, fiber art demonstrations, and more. This month’s demonstrations will include Ben Deshotels in the Blacksmith Shop, tinkering and talking with Gary Hart and fiber arts with Linda Collins. Sign-up sheets will be available for future workshops for those seeking a more immersive experience to further hone the skills of a chosen craft.

The Behind the Barn Doors program is FREE and open to the public.
