Times are changing and many of our old barns are being destroyed for “bigger and better”. Tom Laughlin producer of the DVD “Wisconsin barns: touchstones to the past” will be presenting a program at the Franklin Public Library Wednesday October 3, 2007 at 6:30pm. Mr. Laughlin will help us understand the origins of the American barn as it nurtured our development as a country and provide insights into the history and heritage we all share in them.
Some of the questions he will address:
-Why are old barns important to our country?
-Where did barns begin and why are they changing?
-How many different types of barns are there?
-Why are barns red?
The program is free and open to the public. To sign up in advance, please stop in at the library, or call 425-8214 beginning Monday, Aug. 27, 2007
