Crews to begin tearing down historic Concord barn destroyed in arson fire

CONCORD, N.C. — Construction crews will spend the next two weeks tearing down a historic barn at Frank Liske Park in Concord.

The barn was built in the mid-1900s, but police say someone intentionally set it on fire last March.

In November, the county asked for community input on how to replace it.

Commissioners narrowed it down to two similar options.

They’ll finalize plans in the next few months.

In the video at the top of the page, reporter Anthony Kustura learned what pieces of the barn workers will salvage for the new design.
