Reinforced by its size and its prominent setting near open fields and pastures, the barn is indelibly etched into the collective American consciousness. Even for those who have only seen them in the media, barns have had a strong, enduring attraction for most Americans. From the earliest European settlements in America, the barn has been a fundamental component of th ...
