The January-February issue of Outdoor Indiana magazine features a cover story on the movement to preserve the Hoosier state’s round and polygonal barns.
Such barns were always rare, even in their heyday. At least 226 such barns were built in Indiana between 1874 and 1936, more than in any other state. Only 73 are left.
The 48-page full-color magazine also includes an article on the various ways and whys people volunteer at Indiana’s state park properties and another on the land that was acquired for preservation by the Harrison Conservation Trust, Bicentennial Nature Trust and Healthy Rivers INitiative in 2017.
