Summary
Built in 1883 and located just outside of Plattsmouth, the Gottfried Gustav Pitz Barn, also known as the Pitz-Muller Barn, is an example of a brick and frame banked barn. Situated near the Missouri River, the barn was once one of several buildings utilized by a market gardener or truck farmer, a farmer who grew one or more vegetable crops on a large scale for shipment to markets. The small barn housed one horse to provide labor and transportation and one cow to provide milk for the family.
