Because this information has
made its way into your hands, there’s a safe bet that you are interested
in preserving American history. The Preservation Mass Barn Task Force
is a membership of individuals like you who are looking for allies in
the battle to preserve historic barns in Massachusetts.
A forum for information gathering and networking, the task force is
committed to increasing the awareness of the need to preserve these
Massachusetts icons. Are you an owner of an old barn? Perhaps you’re a
tradesperson who can offer expertise and / or benefit from that of your
peers. Are you a preservationist or simply interested in barns? The
Preservation Mass Barn Task Force wants you to become involved, whatever
your
vested interest.
Current members have begun to lay the awareness foundation. The
Preserve Mass Barns website was established as a central repository of
editorials, newsletter articles, announcements of educational events and
activities, white papers, and the like. It’s poised to become a robust
Resource Center for anyone concerned with preserving this significant
symbol of early American life.
As a task force member, your mission is to “spread the word.” Become a
catalyst in your local community. Encourage the topic of barn
preservation at historic preservation and conservation meetings. Help
to organize a workshop, become part of a committee, contribute an
editorial or write an article for the periodic newsletter. Add value by
helping to develop the Resource Center. We want the Resource Center to
be a tool for information that is both general and technical in
nature.
