Despite the fact that humble of their function, these carefully crafted barns have shaped the lives of Mainers for centuries. Built long before the days of plastic and plywood, the barns have survived for generations, every with a story to inform. In Bridgton, one barn offered comfort to a sixteen-year-old boy when his father used to be injured. Any other New Gloucester barn used to be so essential to one circle of relatives that its likeness used to be engraved on their headstones. Some owners said they would somewhat see their houses burn than their barns, and others have dedicated their lives and livelihoods to restoring and preserving these buildings. From modest English to grand Victorian, Don Perkins examines the structures, origins and evolution of Maine’s barns, demonstrating the necessary and precious role they play in people’s lives.
