As the principal structures of farms, barns evoke a sense of tradition and security, of closeness to the land and community with the people who built them. Even today, the raising of rural barns presents a strong image of community spirit. Just as many farmers built their barns before they built their homes, too many farm families view their old barns as links to their past. Moreover, old barns are often community landmarks and make the past present. Such buildings embody ethnic traditions and local customs; they reflect evolving agricultural practices and advances in building technology. In the imagination, they represent an entire way of life.
