Wisconsin Barns

It seems to me I see fewer picturesque Wisconsin barns today. Whether a barn is gray, white, red or brown, it can be so charming in the proper setting. I came upon this barn while snowshoeing in Northern Wisconsin. Having grown up on a dairy farm, I have my own concerns about the preservation of Wisconsin barns and our rural countryside. This barn could use a little TLC some day soon, however it's good to know the Wisconsin Historical Society and the University of Wisconsin-Extension are spearheading a multifaceted approach aimed at saving many of Wisconsin's historic agricultural buildings since they have become public concerns.
