The barn is located behind the Bartlett Travis house at 500 North Ridge Road and the public is encouraged to attend, she said.
The anniversary party will include a catered dinner, pop or coffee, raffles and 50s and 60s music by Canton’s own FAIRVIEW featuring Ron and Alfred Muniz on guitar and lead vocals, Chad Atwell on bass and Lions Club Member Karl Zarbo on drums.
