Although humble in their function, these carefully crafted barns
have shaped the lives of Mainers for centuries. Built long before
the days of plastic and plywood, the barns have survived for
generations, each with a story to tell. In Bridgton, one barn
offered comfort to a sixteen-year-old boy when his father was
injured. Another New Gloucester barn was so important to one family
that its likeness was engraved on their headstones. Some owners
said they would rather see their houses burn than their barns, and
others have dedicated their lives and livelihoods to restoring and
preserving these buildings. From modest English to grand Victorian,
Don Perkins examines the structures, origins and evolution of
Maine's barns, demonstrating the vital and precious role they play
in people's lives.
