Statewide inventory of older barns gets started Owners of Pennsylvania barns built before 1960 are en- couraged to participate in a statewide inventory being conducted by the state Depart- ment of Agriculture, Pennsyl- vania Historical and Museum Commission and the Center for Rural Pennsylvania. To assist with the inventory, the Center for Rural Pennsyl- vania is asking owners of barns built before 1960 to contact the center and provide their name, address and county of resi- dence. Barn owners should al- so include the style or archi- tecture of the barn, if possible, and indicate if the barn is be- ing used for farming oper- ations. Last fall, the state Senate and House of Representatives unanimously passed resolu- tions recognizing the impor- tance of the state’s historic barns and urging a statewide inventory of the historically significant structures. House Resolution 463 and Senate Resolution 190 were spearheaded by the legislative board members of the Center for Rural Pennsylvania. These resolutions call for the Depart- ment of Agriculture and PHMC to inventory and cata- logue historic barns in Penn- sylvania and to report their joint findings to the General Assembly no later than Nov. 30. The results of the invento- ry will be available to promote Pennsylvania’s agriculture and tourism industries. All information should be mailed to the Center for Rural Pennsylvania, 200 North Third St., Suite 600, Harris- burg, Pa. 17101 or e-mail in- fo@ruralpa.org.
