Another brilliant but too short day at the battlefield
Nope, that was the Mumma barn, burned by the Confederates.
The Poffenberger barn was acquired just a few years ago and was n very damaged condition. Much of the original structure has been preserved and stabilized and some new beams and period siding is replacing the old damaged lumber.

Was that the one that was intentionally burned down?
