Adjacent to the Tenny Log Cabin stood another former Highland landmark - an impressive octagonal barn made from native fieldstone that was a familiar site to Highland residents for many years.  Margaret Mastick wrote in the Milford Times for March 5, 1969, that the barn was thought to have been built by Jesse Tenny around 1855.   The two story structure had walls that were eighteen inches thick.  David Barrett was a stone mason who might have helped to build the stone barn.  It was built into the side of a hill so that entrance to both floors could be made from the ground.  The photo below dates from the 1930's.
