Event:
June 6 The Chase Stone Barn Park Fundraiser Picnic 3:00 p.m. - midnight Town Hall 8481 Cty Rd. S Pulaski, Wisconsin www.saveabarn.com
Once the landscape was dotted with the stately barns of the prairie state, today most of those barns are being replaced with subdivisions. Even agrarian cultures are encouraged to destroy old barns for more modern, economically viable, and efficient structures. Our barns were the symbol of the American farm. Only a few craftsmen still know the old traditions and the virgin forests that made up the framework of the castles of the prairie no longer exist.
Times change, and society changes, but it is not too late to save some of this heritage before it is gone forever. No greater symbol of American heritage exists than the barn. They were and are the temples of the prairie.
An exhibit of 24 images from the book can be viewered at:
