- "The Barn" redirects here. Two arenas are affectionately nicknamed "The Barn", see the Williams Arena (Minnesota) and Windsor Arena (Ontario).
The Barn is the name given to the recording studio on the property of former Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio, located near Burlington, Vermont. It was reconstructed between 1996 and 1998 from an existing structure, the Alan Irish Barn. The Barn has been used by Phish to record their final three albums, and has hosted most of Anastasio's projects since 1999.
