The delivery barn

Comes from: Levring (farm in Inndalen in Verdal)
Age: From approx. 1820
To the museum: Purchased 1938, demolished (at Levring) 1945 and installed at the museum in 1952-53.

The barn is set up of lathed fir timber laid on a gray stone wall. The roof is covered with turf. The building has two floors with three rooms on each floor. The room furthest north on the ground floor originally served as a stable.

In the 1960s, a driving wheel was installed in the southern part of the first floor. It was connected to an old threshing machine on the second floor, and the driving force was initially a small engine. It was originally run with horse trekking, and in the 1970s horse trekking came back into place. The driving wheel came from Jøsås, one of Levring's neighboring farms.

The barn was primarily a house where they stored threshed grain, often in several staves, and the threshing took place there. In the steel, the grain bands were boxed, which means that they were set close together. When they boxed barley, it meant putting the grain bands ear to ear. Such a barn with three rooms was very common, the granaries were usually at the ends and the threshing room in the middle. From olden times, this room was preferably called a barn.
