BALTIMORE, Maryland (WJZ) — A barn used to store historic artifacts at the Stepping Stone Museum was demolished by a fire Sunday afternoon in Harford County.
It took more than 50 firefighters to control the fire in Havre De Grace.
The storage barn was part of the Steppingstone Farm Museum and was used for museum exhibits and storage.
The structure was a total loss, along with many of the historic artifacts stored within it, according to the Maryland Fire Marshal.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
The Steppingstone Farm Museum preserves and interprets the rural heritage of Harford County, its website says.
The museum was founded in 1957 by J. Edmund Bull, who collected thousands of private tools and artifacts.
