A principal part of the investigative work of Barn Histories is to clearly identify what type of barn is being examined. Recognized barn types include English, New England, Dutch-American, Dutch-Anglo, Dutch-German, Pennsylvania Forebay, English Lake District and German Ground barns, among others. All barns have distinctive traits and were constructed with a wide range of materials. To characterize these barns and assign definite cultural ties can be challenging. These tasks are always welcomed by Barn Histories.
