The Cyrus Barn orchard contains 5 documented heritage fruit trees.
History
The Cyrus Barn orchard (also known as the Omer Cyrus "Barn Orchard") is located below and about one-third of a mile northwest of the main Omer Cyrus orchard.
This cluster of old trees was recently "re-discovered" during the preparation of a National Grasslands application to list the McCoin and Cyrus homesteads and orchards as National Historic Sites.
Site Description
Apparently, Omer Cyrus's barn must have overlooked this orchard, which covers roughly eight acres and includes numerous trees, about 30 of which are still living. Most appear to be apples and crabapples.
Unlike the McCoin and main Cyrus orchards, this one is heavily overgrown with brush and junipers, making access and identification more difficult.
