Geocache Description:

The Lawrence Barn is a double English-style timber-framed barn with yet a third addition, one of perhaps a half-dozen still remaining in New England. The first and oldest barn was built by Josiah Blood in the 1780s, during the time of the American Revolution. Located at 163 Depot Road in Hollis, New Hampshire, the barn changed owners several times, eventually being acquired by the Lawrence family in 1907. In 1970, the Lawrence Farm ceased to be a working farm.

Scheduled for demolition in order to make way for a housing development, the Hollis Heritage Commission acquired this unique, antique structure in order to save it for future generations. The barn was dismantled in November of 1999 and was reconstructed on Nichols Field as a community center for use by all Hollis organizations, and to showcase an example of the history of the development of timber framing techniques from medieval times to the late 19th/early 20th century.

This is a Highly Muggled Area, the need for stealth cannot be suggested enough with pedestrians.

The Hint is a spoiler, so don't use it, unless desperate.

Hey, if you snap a good photo of the Lawrence Barn, please post it with your log! It might help serve as a "cover story" if there are muggles about...
