BEAVER DAM, Wis. - Strong storms on Wednesday left the iconic blue Culver’s barn in Beaver Dam severely damaged, according to WMTV. 

What we know:

Michael Zimmerman has owned the structure since 1976, and said it has been a Culver’s barn for more than a decade.

Zimmerman told WMTV-TV that the barn was initially damaged when a tornado touched down in Beaver Dam this past April. Wednesday's powerful winds toppled the rest of the structure.

The vibrant blue barn, which carries the message "Thank You, Farmers," is a familiar sight for anyone traveling down US-151.
