A Timeless Barn, A Legacy of Gatherings.

Built in 1905 as a stage stop north of the Snake River Canyon, The Risk Barn has been a place of gathering for over a century. Once home to lively weekend dances hosted by the Spanbauer family, its legacy of bringing people together has never faded.

Passed down through generations and carefully restored by the Whitmire family, The Risk remains a locally owned, family-run venue where history and heartfelt celebrations intertwine. Today, it stands as more than just a barn—it’s a testament to the love, tradition, and memories woven into its walls.
