The Moody Barn is a round barn in Chisago Lake Township, Chisago County, Minnesota. The farm was first homesteaded in 1871 by Elof and Eva Modig, who emigrated from Sweden. The couple raised five children and grew wheat on their farm, as was common in the 1870s. By the 1890s, Minnesota farming had begun to diversify, with cheese and butter production becoming popular and distributed by cooperative creameries. In 1915, Charles Moody, one of the sons, decided to build a modern round barn.[2]

The barn is 56 feet (17 m) in diameter and about the same in height. The interior contains a 42 feet (13 m) high silo. The first floor of the barn housed milk cows and their calves, while the second floor was used to store hay. Instead of the traditional red and white paint, the Moody barn was painted in a blue-gray color. The construction cost was $3200, with seven men paid $1 per day plus meals for the construction.[2]

The barn was moved from the west side of the road to the east side in 2004, and is now owned by the Chisago County Historical Society. It has been repainted and reshingled, and is situated in a 25 acres (10 ha) park. The barn is the last remaining round barn in Chisago County.[2]
