We’re delighted to share the story of our beloved barn—a historic structure once used by Buffalo Bill Cody as winter quarters for his Wild West Show in the late 1800s. Today, it’s been lovingly reimagined into a creative haven: a spacious studio and workroom on the lower level, with a light-filled gallery above—ideal for art exhibitions, intimate concerts, and inspiring workshops. Artifacts from its storied past still emerge, adding to its unique spirit.

Our seasonal “Open House for Butterflies” Studio Days celebrate the arts with a joyful mix of painting, music, and poetry. We’re joined by a vibrant circle of local artists—see below for highlights. To receive invitations, be sure to sign up for our newsletter. The gallery is also open year-round by appointment.

Workshops on native plants, biochar, permaculture, and herbal wisdom are occasionally led by renowned plantsman and North Creek Nurseries co-founder C. Dale Hendricks, with guest presenters Chris Brinton and Trevor Pruitt.

The Green Barn Studio & Gallery

Summer, 2024

In the warmer months, it's time to migrate from the studio and reconnect with nature, putting our hands once again into the rich garden soil of Chester County. The lawn is slowly being replaced with native shrubs and perennials, herbs, and efforts at edible landscaping, such as aronia and hazelnut shrubs, as well as persimmon and apple trees. At times, we come together to share the fruits of the harvest on the glass-enclosed gallery deck. There are plenty of outdoor benches if you'd like to sit for a while and soak in the peace!
