The 2026 Indiana Barn Foundation Forum and Annual Meeting will be held on Saturday, July 18th from 9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. at The Lawrence Restaurant + Events, 150 McCutcheon Dr, West Lafayette, Indiana. 

The Lawrence is the latest restaurant creation of the Cunningham Restaurant Group. This unique destination brings a beautifully restored 1930s barn to life, offering guests a sense of history, community, and fresh, seasonal cuisine. The barn was donated to the Purdue Research Foundation by Sonny Beck, owner of Beck’s Hybrids, and then relocated and transformed near the Purdue campus. The interior features a permanent art installation in partnership with the Indiana Barn Foundation.

The annual meeting will include two presentations:

The Farm at Prophetstown: Lee Goudy, Executive Director of The Farm at Prophetstown, speaks about the farm's history and the restoration of its Gambrel Barn.  

The history of the hay trolley: In the 1860's, the invention of the hay track and trolley revolutionized agriculture by allowing farmers to lift massive piles of hay into barn lofts without backbreaking manual labor. Steve Weeber, founder of Hay Trolley Heaven and the Museum for Hay Trolleys in Iowa City, IA, explores the rise in popularity of the hay trolley, from its invention to peak use and decline.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. Lunch is included in the $35 registration fee. Non-members of the Indiana Barn Foundation are welcome to attend.
