O. C. Barber Dam near Robinson
Ave.
This beautifully restored Dam and waterfall are part of the new Anna
Dean Office Park near the intersection of Fifth Street and Robinson
Ave on the East side of Barberton. The Society has helped this project
with technical assistance and the return of the original O. C. B. date
stone, which we rescued at the time of the green house demolition in
1978. A. Testa Builders have spent $300,000 on saving this Anna Dean
Farm artifact, and for this we are most grateful. The waterfall runs
continuously and its a great scenic area for photos

Members of the City, the Hospital,
Testa Builders and the Society meet last October to rededicate the
restored Dam and waterfall.

Water over the O. C. Barber Dam.
This beautifully restored Dam and spill stone sheds a continuous
waterfall in all seasons of the year. Also within walking distance
of the Dam you will find two very nice rock water fountains.

O. C. Barber
Colt Barn Located at 740 Austin Drive on the edge of the 15 acre Anna
Dean Park.
The Colt Barn was the
first building purchased by the Society. The exterior restoration of
this building was completed in 1998 thanks to a grant from the Barberton
Community Foundation. Although not open for regular tours you are always
welcome to stop and visit the Colt Barn whenever a Society member is
around.
