History
The Lounsberry Family, owners of Hill Prairie Winery, established roots on the property over five generations ago. In 1887, the original settlers from the family utilized the land as a farmstead and for drafting horses. Up until the 1980s, the historic barn was used for housing horses. Once it was renovated, the family began to offer couples the opportunity to host their wedding in the well-kept structure.
