While today, a barn might be most commonly used to store farming equipment, house animals or even be converted into a home itself, barns were originally used as a storage area for grain, which is where the word barn comes from. The word barn is a modern conjunction of two Olde English words: "bere," for barley (or any type of grain) and "aern," for a storage place. Check out our selection of barn coffee mugs.
