Our Story
Established as a community over 150 years ago, the people who call Barnwell “ home” value its history, traditions and community spirit. Residents are proud of the hard working ‘blue-collar’ families who make up the majority of the community and value the role of agriculture in their history and economy.
Help us preserve the history, culture and individuality of our community.
