This
preliminary research about barns and farm buildings in thirteen Vermont
towns is offered as a public service to assist local volunteers with
their efforts to learn more about the agricultural heritage of these
communities. 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. The
historical research and preliminary field documentation was conducted
during the fall 2009 semester by Kristen M Gillott 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 provided in part by a Preserve America grant through the National Park Service
to the State of Vermont Division for Historic Preservation.
