Ooo la-la-la-ladugård jag vill ha dig

Historian exposes the secret history of barns

Having grown up in rural Clermont County, Steve Gordon has fond childhood memories of playing in the hay in his family's barn.
[...]
Now a historian, a published authority on barn history and curator of Miami University's McGuffey Museum, Gordon will present "Purlins, Posts and Haymows: A Sneak Peek at Ohio's Historic Barns, 1790-1950" [...]

"Before coming to Miami, Steve served as the Survey and National Register Manager for the Ohio Historical Society. He has been particularly active in historic preservation throughout Ohio and has maintained a lifelong fascination with historic barns."

[...]

Because the construction of barns evolved alongside the advances of technology, Gordon said that its relatively easy to pinpoint a construction date for a barn.
Go Gordon!
