Description
Barns dot rural landscapes throughout America, symbols of the country’s agricultural heritage. Celebrate these beautiful, now rapidly vanishing buildings. Although a bit of the precious past is lost when one disappears, these striking photographs bring them back to life, often weathered and faded. Take a look at George Washington’s sixteen-sided barn, trace the influence of the Mennonites in a spacious barn surrounded by greenery, see the famous round barn of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, and show more more. Each has its own special story to tell. show lessTags
