Randy Nash: "History of Barn Building in NY State"

Date:  Wednesday,  August 20th 2003

Place: The Tracy Barn, home of Linda and Mike Marsden,
          8938 Tracy Rd., between Pompey Hollow and Oran
          Delphi Roads, south of Route 20


Time:  7:00  Barns will be open for viewing.

          7:30  Randy begins his program.

                 Bill Casey, of Fabius, will follow with slides of
                   Barns in Fabius

*************Refreshments*************

The barn is a common artifact that everyone is familiar with. We drive to the
country to view them; they are favorite subjects for photographers and
painters.
Randy will give us the background knowledge to look at them in a different
way.
We will be better able to identify the age and era of a barn and also the use
of the barn, as the history of the barn is "written in the fabric of the
building.*



               *Randy Nash

Randy Nash is well known in the state for his knowledge of New York State
barns. He has been studying and preserving barns in New York for 25 years. He is
