Heritage Barns Project

hampshire and weller

Flagstaff County has taken inventory of a valuable part of the region’s rich heritage: its barns.

Over the summers of 2016, 2017 and 2018, university student Sydney Hampshire spearheaded this important project to help bolster the understanding and appreciation of rural agricultural history right here in Flagstaff County.

Hampshire gathered information on the locations of barns throughout the county, visiting them, photographing them, interviewing the property owners and posting all relevant information to an online database to be preserved for future generations.

Hampshire documented more than 60 barns within Flagstaff County.

If you haven’t already done so, check out the Barns of Flagstaff County website.
