Dotting Pennsylvania’s farmland, old barns tell agriculture’s timeless story of provision. From the small family farms that cropped up before the United States existed, to today’s large commercial operations, the barn has always been the heart of the farm, sheltering the work of growing food and fiber.
Home of sheep, cows, horses, or any animal a farmer raises; barns are places to store tools, seed, and feed; repair equipment; and teach children the ancient and modern methods of getting food to the table.
