PLAINFIELD BARN DAY

The Plainfield Historical Society has planned a tour of 12 local historic barns, and will be offering workshops by barn experts at two of the barns that are in need of “help”.

This is a great opportunity for owners of old barns who want to save and preserve their barns to learn how the experts analyze the needs of the barn and make recommendations to homeowners about what to do.

In addition, John McSwain will be available at another barn on the tour to describe what was involved in repairing that barn foundation.

At the end of the day, there will be a barn dance at Riverview Farm, featuring Pooh Sprague’s band Sensible Shoes. The dance is a family friendly event, so bring children, grandchildren and your dancing shoes. For more information and to purchase tickets, please go to LINK.

Pre-registration strongly advised so purchase your tickets here. Tickets will be available for sale all day at the Plainfield Town Hall, where we’ll have an exhibit of photos and paintings of the many old and new barns we have in our small town. Registration starts at 9:30 and John Porter will speak briefly at 10:00am. Come enjoy an iconic part of New Hampshire history.
