On this land 50 years ago you would have found a tobacco farmer harvesting his crop. Years have passed and this land has been transformed. We no longer harvest tobacco, but we do still bale the hay and have a few goats roaming around. Today we are Whispering Oaks; an event venue that is unique and rooted in Julian, NC. The barn at Whispering Oaks is made from reclaimed and re-purposed materials, including the large poles that you see holding the structure up. Those massive log poles once held up the Lake Townsend Pier. Also, the lumber used to build the roof was reclaimed from a nearby bridge located just a few miles away in Julian. The metal roof supports were once holding up the roof of a furniture 

factory in Liberty. Trees that were cut down on the property were used to produce the lumber that served as building material to create the custom made benches, table tops, and entrance sign. We’ve built this barn from the ground up, doing most of the labor ourselves. We’ve worked hard to create an event space that we hope you enjoy. Our special custom elements are hidden throughout Whispering Oaks.
