Situated between Peoria & Bloomington/Normal, this beautiful 10,000 sq. foot barn is nestled within a working grain farm, with an amazing view overlooking it’s nearby pond. With new indoor bathrooms, vintage decor and easily accessible location The Red Barn is the perfect spot for the Farmstead Fair 2018!
With the support of her husband, children, friends & family. Shannon E. Rader dreamed of and created the Farmstead Fair! Unable to locate a pop-up, up-scale vintage market near her hometown of Normal, Illinois, she saw the opportunity to bring one to this area!
