Preservation Brief 20, The Preservation of Historic Barns
Author(s): Michael J. Auer
Year: 2004
Summary
This is number twenty of 42 preservation briefs prepared by the Technical Preservation Services of the National Park Service. This brief focuses on the preservation of historic barns.
Historic barns form a vital part of our Nation's heritage. Not every historic barn can be saved from encroaching development, or easily brought back into productive use. Yet thousands of such structures can be repaired or rehabilitated for continued agricultural use or for new functions without destroying the very qualities that make them worth saving. By carefully examining the historic significance of each structure, owners of historic barns can draw up plans that preserve and reuse these historic structures while maintaining their historic character.
