Author talks barn restoration, history

WILMINGTON- On Saturday, February 22, at 4:30 pm, John C. Porter will discuss his book, “Preserving Old Barns: Preventing the Loss of a Valuable Resource.” Get those barn restoration and history questions ready.
The new edition of “Preserving Old Barns” is a wonderful resource for barn owners to assess, care for, and celebrate their special structures. Porter writes from the vantage point of one who grew up on a dairy farm, working every day in 1850s-era barns. He spent his career working as a cooperative extension educator, helping people retrofit old barns, and build new ones.
