'Why Save an Old Barn' presentation
April 8, 2010

    Kendall Young Library will present a presentation by Rich Tyler, called “Why Save an Old Barn."
    He asks what the real value of preserving the past is and whether old barns should be allowed to fall down.
    The example used in this presentation is the restoration of the Secrest 1883 Octagonal Barn. A story is told about how individuals and organizations rallied around Iowa farm history, to contribute to saving this barn.
    The program is sponsored by Humanities Iowa, a private nonprofit state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities
