Historic Barns of Southeastern Pennsylvania – Wednesday in Winter

Presented by Greg Huber

This presentation is on barns located in Southeastern Pennsylvania, or, specifically, “the hearth,” the area east of the Susquehanna River and south of the Blue Mountains.  Greg will discuss primary factors that have determined the fundamental structures and appearances of the six great barn classifications, including forest resources.  Other featured topics are architectural aspects and regionalisms, dates of construction, survival of 18^th-century examples, mysterious decorations, and barn preservation.
