Thayer Barn

Frank and Lottie Thayer came from Paxton, NB in 1902. They farmed – milking cows and raising grain and hay. About 1905, they moved to a farm south of Duvall. A small herd of Jersey and Guernsey milk cows provided fresh milk and cream for the market and family. Son, Otis, continued to farm the property. The big Thayer Barn was built in the 1930’s, and was used until 1968. The Barn has been demolished and parts saved for future building. Duvall Foundation for the Arts plan to develop a Community Arts Center.

In the 1920's the Civic Club started a circulating library from donated books and books that they purchased.
