In
1969 Bill and Frances Bohne along with their three young
sons bought the Sherner Farm, a working dairy farm and
started to build a dream. The Green Barn deli was born
in April of 1969. People came from all over new England
for the fine homemade sausages and smoked meats. While
they were running the Deli Bill was building the Restaurant.
He tore out the walls of the barn and he started to
rebuild. By July 1st 1970 The Green Barn Restaurant
opened its
main dining room and the dream was starting to take
shape.
Nine months later Bill
had the Steinkeller Lounge open and ready for dining.
Their outstanding German Cuisine brought people in from
all over New England. In 1971 The Green Barn was written
up in the national restaurant magazine Restaurants and
Hospitality as one of the best German restaurants in
the country. They were then and still are today proud
of their, commitment to the very best in quality and
dining.
When people come to the
Green Barn they are greeted with a friendly "hello".
No one is a customer - all are friends. Bill and Frances'
youngest son Carl and his wife Margaret along with their
dedicated staff are upholding the tradition of owning
with pride the oldest family owned and operated restaurant
in Salem.
Carl, Margaret and their
entire staff welcome everyone to
The Green Barn! |
