If you haven't already heard, The Barn aka Overmountain Shelter is gone: https://youtu.be/qfV4FX9ZE7A?si=9Wd9LsaNspeElUHD.
Tenting is still available at the site. The privy is still there. It is a pit privy, though, and there might not be any more places to dig a new pit, once full. A moldering privy has been considered.
A potential site for a new shelter has been identified but that is as far as the planning has gone. It is a favorable site and perhaps even better than this one.
A sad day for many hikers but you still have your memories! Please share here if you wish.
See you on the trail,
