The Barn in Vermont; and its relation to the history of agriculture in New England
Contact:
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | In celebration of updates to the Frost Museum's historic barn, please join us for a talk with historic preservationist and timber frame expert Jan Lewandoski.
Jan Lewandoski is the owner of Restoration and Traditional Building, a company specializing in heavy timber repair and restoration of barns, churches, and wooden bridges. They also reproduce architectural finish work for these structures. Jan and his crew have been doing this work for over 40 years, mostly in Vermont, but also nationwide and in Canada. Recently, he spent 5 years re-erecting a Chinese house, Yin You Tang, for the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA. He is currently restoring the lantern at the Old First Church in Old Bennington!
This talk has been partially funded by the Preservation Trust of Vermont, with additional support from the Windham Foundation.
