Preserving Old Barns

Old Barns CoverEver wonder about the history of the many barns along New Hampshire's scenic byways? Or how you might restore the barn sitting in your backyard? A unique resource on preserving old barns is available in an illustrated book featuring many of New Hampshire's historic and scenic barns. You will find Preserving Old Barns not only offers a history of New England agriculture through the evolution of barns, it also deals with structural renovation of deteriorating farm buildings.This book will help barn owners assess the structural integrity of old farm buildings, as well as provide instructions for some basic repairs.

Authors John Porter, a UNH Cooperative Extension dairy specialist emeritus, and Francis Gilman, retired agricultural engineer specialist with UNH Cooperative Extension, have spent their careers with farmers around New England helping them update and retrofit barns and have applied this knowledge to the renovation of old barns. Together they have more than 50 years of field experience working with agricultural producers. Preserving Old Barns is a fully illustrated book. Photos and sketches provide clear examples of the concepts presented. A special colored section showcases more than a dozen beautifully restored barns. Order online now. Cost is $19.95
