Are there any organizations aimed at preserving tobacco barns and other historic farm structures?
I would like to get involved if there is. Keep up the good work! – Todd Wahler, Raleigh Thank you, Mr. Wahler. The state Historic Preservation Office encourages private individuals to preserve tobacco barns. You can find information on the Web site. In addition, the Duke Homestead Historic Site, Tobacco Farm Life Museum in Kenly and Horne Creek Living History Farm in Surry County have preserved barns. Also, we restored the old log barn at the N.C. State Fairgrounds, and have cured tobacco in it during the past four State Fairs. I personally have a huge interest in log tobacco barns. I’ve bought and dismantled three old log barns, and I’m storing the materials in the hopes of rebuilding them in the future.Read more Ask Anything interviews!
