Help the Kingsley Folk School build a year-round classroom barn this fall!
October 24th and 25th
Big news!
We are building a barn classroom on our farm site just outside of Kingsley where we can hold year-round classes and workshops for larger audiences!
How it Happened
The day that we celebrated The Kingsley Folk School’s 5th Birthday, we stumbled upon a Facebook post about a barn kit for sale. The price was the same amount that we had saved up thanks to all of our generous donors! It was very unexpected and last minute, but a couple of our board members were able to go look at it that day. After we checked it out and decided it would be a good fit, we purchased it. Thanks to a group of amazing volunteers, we were able to transport the kit to the build site!
What’s Next?
Community Barn Raising!
October 24th and 25th (Saturday and Sunday)
Since this happened much sooner than we expected, we are looking for all the help that we can get.
We need volunteers to help with the actual build. No experience required as there will be experienced builders with us that can tell you what to do.
We are also looking for donations of materials or money to purchase materials. Remember that we are a 501(c)3 non-profit and all donations are tax deductible!
Material Needs
Concrete for pouring slab
insulation
drywall
propane heat source
furnishings
Kingsley Folk School, founded in 2021, is a non-profit community space for sharing and learning skills from folk traditions for all ages. After starting out in a small building in downtown Kingsley, we quickly outgrew the space. Now it is time for us to grow, and we need your help.
X Marks the Spot
Where will the Kingsley Folk School’s new location be? Right here in Kingsley, of course! We are located six miles from downtown Kingsley off of Walton Rd. As you can see from the aerial photo, we will have plenty of room, with space for parking.
Some of our previous classes include:
early childhood music series
cheese making
glass blowing 101
herbs for pain and inflammation
stamp making
tree grafting
qigong
drop spindle spinning
fire by friction
and sauerkraut making
We plan to continue to expand our curriculum with our new space and offer more classes like these.
What kind of barn kit?
