How to Ensure Your Community's Historic Barns Are Not Lost Forever.
Please welcome Preservation Idaho for a stimulating presentation on historic barns, why they matter for Idahoans, and how YOU can contribute to their protection and documentation. Preservation Idaho has created Idaho's only Heritage Barns Register, a program dedicated to preserving Idaho's historic barns. The Magic Valley has a unique agricultural history that you can help save, and this program is an opportunity for individuals and communities to ensure that no barn is overlooked.
Preservation Idaho is a 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization with no affiliation to the State or Federal Government whose mission is to protect historic places of significance to Idahoans through collaboration, education, and advocacy. The Idaho Heritage Barns Register is one of many Preservation Idaho Programs that serve to celebrate Idaho's heritage and you can learn more from Programs Director Gaby Thomason at this presentation.
