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.
Events
The annual Barn Tour will be in Daviess County on September 24th from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.. Special features will be the Singleton Round Barn and talks by round barn book author, John Hanou.
September 24th also kicks off Hoosier Heritage Barn Week. Watch our Facebook page for daily suggestions on how to recognize the week!
