The original site for the Tonsfeldt barn was off Iowa 3, at the west side of LeMars. It was moved to the county fairgrounds in 1981. The barn was built to show Hereford cattle. The distinctive feature of the building is the steeply pitched bell-shaped roof, surmounted by a metal aerator. Within is a central woodstave and plastered silo, 18 feet in diameter.
