Barn Day was a tremendous success. We had over 150 people tour the 12 barns and despite the chilly weather about 80 at the barn dance.
Many thanks to the volunteers who helped at the town hall and greeted visitors at each barn and to our speakers Steve Taylor and John Porter. Thanks to Ian Blackman and Stan Graton for doing barn workshops and to John McSwain for offering his expertise at two barns.
The exhibit of barn photos and paintings will be on display on July 4th in the town hall.

We want to encourage all old barn owners to take advantage of the barn workshops that we'll have on Barn Day. We have two barn experts who'll be evaluating two of the barns on the tour that are in need of "help". They'll explain how they analyze a barn's needs and make recommendations to homeowners about restoration. Mason John McSwain will also be available at one barn to explain what was involved when he rebuilt the foundation.
The 1904 picture is of barns on Black Hill. The 18th century barn on the far left is on the tour.
