Barn Again Movement Preserves Old Barn Heritage
Richard W. Babcock, barn museum owner in Hancock Massachusetts, has rebuilt about 75 barns using adzes and axes, moving rare 18th century structures to places like Vienna Virginia for Barns of Wolf Trap. Other preservationists in Pennsylvania and California stress adaptive reuse while a nationwide Barn Again campaign offers $1000 awards to standout preserved or renovated barns.
