Historic Barns of Connecticut survey

Eight tomes, over 7,000 pages combined, are the result of a two year project by the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation, documenting Connecticut's barns. Now housed at the State Historic Preservation Office in Hartford, as well as online at http://www.connecticutbarns.org/, over 2,000 barns were researched and 8,000 barns surveyed. The research is the basis for a current State Register of Historic Places nomination project on barns, funded by the State Historic Preservation Office.
