Andover Open Barns Tour
Saturday, September 7

From the NH Preservation Alliance — Enjoy a day of historic barns, scenic landscapes, and local history in the hills of central New Hampshire.  The barns in Andover link us to the rich agricultural history of the area. Seven distinctive examples will be showcased on the self-guided barn tour on Saturday, September 7.

The event begins in the morning with an illustrated lecture, “The History of Agriculture as Told by Barns,” presented by author and barn expert John Porter at Proctor Academy’s Stone Chapel.  A self-guided tour of the barns will follow. Experts will be available at each barn to answer questions about architectural features, agricultural uses, framing styles and repair methods.

The event is presented by the NH Preservation Alliance in association with the Andover Historical Society and The Andover Community Hub. To register or for more information, go to nhpreservation.org or call the Preservation Alliance at 603 224-2281.
