Anderson Barn, near Hitchcock in Beadle County, South Dakota, is a barn built in 1885 by Bengt Anderson. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[1]
It was built to house livestock and horses. It is notable as an example of a feeder barn.[2]

Its north side has 8-by-10-foot (2.4 by 3.0 m) doors on tracks. In 2003 its interior featured a 30-foot (9.1 m) manger, and was mostly unchanged except it had a poured concrete floor. Its loft can store 40 short tons (36,000 kg) of hay.[2]
