"Hoosiers from across the state are coming together to save Indiana barns. And you can help!"
About
Indiana barns are disappearing fast. Every year, we drive by familiar farmsteads and shake our heads as we watch the collapse of another iconic symbol of the Hoosier Heartland. While Indiana still has more barns per square mile than all but five other states, the financial incentives to rehab old barns lag behind efforts in other states.

There are several ways to get involved to help save Indiana barns. The first is to join the organization. Your membership gives you access to great information and educational events.
