The Historic Barn & Farm Foundation of Pennsylvania (HBFF) announces the release of the official trailer for Pennsylvania Barns 250, a documentary created in recognition of America’s 250th anniversary. The project highlights more than a dozen of the Commonwealth’s most iconic historic barns. While not all of the barns are 250 years old, each was selected for its architectural character, historical significance, and its role in shaping Pennsylvania’s early agricultural landscape.
These barns—our cathedrals in the field—stand guard over the crops that fed families and communities. The project preserves these stories so future generations can understand the lessons learned and the way of life these structures represent across the Commonwealth.
‘Every barn tells a story’ of the lives of our earliest settlers.
