Featuring more than 100 stunning full-color photographs along with
helpful diagrams and historic photos, Barns of Connecticut captures both
the iconic and the unique, including historic and noteworthy barns. The
book discusses the importance of barns to Connecticut agriculture
across our state and up to the present day. Markham Starr's Barns of
Connecticut offers a lovely introduction to the architectural,
functional, and agricultural roles these structures played in early
Connecticut. Through text and color photographs, it tells a story of
change and continuity. From the earliest colonial structures to the low
steel buildings of modern dairy farms, barns have adapted to meet the
needs of each generation; they've stored wheat, hay, and tobacco, and
housed farm animals and dairy cows. These enduring structures display
the optimism, ingenuity, hard work, and practicality of the people who
tend land and livestock throughout the state.
