Dairy Barn
| |
|
|
During the turn of the century most barns could be classified as "general purpose"
As more rigid milk inspection requirements were put in place around
many cities, the dairy herd was required to be in a building apart from hogs, calves, horses, or sheep.
This spelled the end of the general purpose type barn.

Gone Forever
| |
|
|
Anecdotal information suggests that Wisconsin is losing over 400 of the wooden barns that characterize the landscape each year, but to date there has been no detailed comprehensive inventory.
