An Evaluation of Contemporary Community Preservation Education in the U.S. and Recommendations for Strengthening Practices Abstract Community preservation education is a powerful tool for exciting and empowering the public to become motivators and facilitators of preservation within their communities. Such non-formal education is geared towards a general audience and aims to foster greater knowledge, appreciation and involvement within the public. While community preservation education is embedded within modern preservation theory, policy and practice, it is also considered to be amongst the field’s primary weaknesses. Despite such criticism there have been no efforts to critically evaluate current education efforts and identify ways in which they can be improved. This thesis endeavors to instigate such a dialogue. The purpose of the research project was to evaluate the current state of community preservation education in the U.S.

Currently, the preservation of these structures remains in the hands of farmers or landowners, and few are being saved. This thesis fosters an awareness for the importance of fl ue-curing tobacco barns, demonstrates the receptivity of various public outreach platforms, and summarizes the creation of a tobacco barn survey and website devoted to the documentation of fl ue-curing tobacco barns in North Carolina.

  • The Barn Door, Fall 2015
    NATIONAL BARN ALLIANCE SUMMER/ FALL 2015 VOLUME 10 ISSUE 1 The Barn Door Restoring the Draft Horse Barn at Rancho Omochumnes By James Prager, California-Nevada Barn Alliance James Prager is a man of many talents who spends much of his time in southern California these days, but has traveled with the NBA for many years as one of the founders of CA-NV Barn Alliance. Jim continues to be a strong supporter of barn preservation across the country and certainly practices what he preaches. The Draft Horse Barn at Rancho Omochumnes was built around 1890 to house and feed the working or draught horses at the home farm of an 1844 Mexican Land Grant known as Rancho Omochumnes. The barn is located on a hill above the farmed fields and out of the winter flooding of Deer Creek and the Cosumnes River. Originally built with a total of 10 draft horse stalls—five on each side aisle—the barn has a central hay storage and feeding area, and a total of five sliding barn doors. The farming operation moved to tractors, instead of draft horses, beginning in the 1920s, and by the 1940s the draft horses were no longer used. After the last draft horse died in the 1950s, the Draft Horse Barn fell into disrepair. It was used only for the storage of hay and sparingly in connection with the farm's cattle operations. It stood vacant and in severe decay until the preservation and restoration work began in 2010. An amazing amount of original historic fabric remained to be preserved, including the draft horse tack hanging on the walls! What was missing or damaged beyond repair has been restored, including the wood roof and the wood plank floor.

  • Sweet Potato Curing Barns: an Agricultural Landmark
    SWEET POTATO CURING BARNS: AN AGRICULTURAL LANDMARK by IVY LANE SPICER (Under the Direction of John Waters) ABSTRACT Sweet potato curing barns were once a major part of the agricultural world, especially in the Mid-Atlantic and Southern states. Sweet potato curing barns are utilized to cure the freshly harvested sweet potatoes, allowing for a longer storage period and a sweeter taste. Craftsmanship and building design provide the features that are essential to a successfully constructed sweet potato curing barn. Features of such structures include ventilation, insulation, some form of artificial heat, and means of air circulation within the barn. In some areas, converted tobacco barns or old farmhouses have been utilized as sweet potato curing barns with only minimal alterations or additions. Decay and neglect of such barns has sparked an interest in raising awareness and understanding of the culture surrounding these structures. Adaptive re-use and the use of tax incentives have provided a way to preserve sweet potato curing barns for future generations to study and enjoy.
