This exhibit shows that barns
are are more than just buildings. They are a witness to centuries of
change. In this era of sustainable agriculture, part of the mission at Hunt Hill
Farm is their focus on teaching future generations the importance of farming
and barns through active adaptive usage of our historic buildings.
