Big red barns are an iconic calling card of the rural Catskills. But big red ROUND barns? There’s only one of those, and it’s in Halcottsville.
Known simply as the Round Barn, this historic structure is only a few miles off the Catskill Mountain Scenic Byway, on NYS Route 30 north, but it is well worth the detour, especially on Saturdays between May and October when dozens of vendors at the Pakatakan Farmers Market occupy the whitewashed space where once Jersey cows awaited milking.
