*************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.*
