Vermont Barn Census
Chittenden County Barns - Student Research Project - 2010
This preliminary barn census and historical research about farming in Chittenden County, Vermont is offered as a public service to share information on the agricultural heritage of these communities. The research was conducted during the fall 2010 semester by graduate students enrolled in the Researching Historic Structures and Sites course at University of Vermont Historic Preservation Program with the assistance of local volunteers as part of the Vermont Barn Census, a statewide project of the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation, the University of Vermont Historic Preservation Program, Historic Windsor's Preservation Education Institute, Save Vermont Barns, Vermont Housing and Conservation Board, and the Preservation Trust of Vermont. Funding support was provided in part by a Preserve America grant through the National Park Service to the State of Vermont Division for Historic Preservation. This project builds on research conducted by UVM graduate students in 2009 that included surveys of 13 Vermont towns, including three in Chittenden County. It is hoped that additional information on the history and features of these barns will be submitted by volunteers through the Vermont Barn Census project.
