Introduction
Text-to-speech Audio
The Ackerhurst-Eipperhurst Barn is located at 15220 Military Ave. in Bennington, Nebraska. Built in 1934, it was considered one of the greatest dairy farms in the midwest because of its exceptional product quality and the measures taken to achieve such high quality. The Ackerhurst-Eipperhurst (Ackerhurst for short) dairy farm is an example of Dutch Gambrel architecture that is rare to find in this region. It was officially designated as an Omaha Local Landmark on March 5th, 2002 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 28th, 2002. Today the barn is in excellent condition and is used primarily for weddings and private events.
