[Farmall] Barn Raising Fund

Sorry for any cross-postings:
Subject: Barn Raising Fund


Please help our farm to preserve agricultural history. We are 
purchasing an Historic Pennsylvania Bank Barn, post and beam frame, 
circa 1880's, that was meticulously taken down, and placed into storage.  

Our neighbors, the Coburns (Gary & Donna,who live at the Historic John Brown Farm & run the museum), do this sort of work for a living,and they will be doing the reconstruction for us, if we can raise the funds.  That's where we ask for your help. 

We need to build the foundation, furnish new wooden sides, and top it with a steel or 
slate roof. We also need to hire the laborers (Gary's crew) with a crane. 

The rest will be done by volunteers in an old fashioned barn raising. All 
donors will be invited to participate!

Please help us in this worthy endeavor, that will also benefit our 
on-farm storage and future livestock facilities.  We need to raise 
approximately $35 thousand for all materials and non-volunteer labor.

THANK YOU!! 

Please pass this on to anybody that you know that might be 
interested in helping us, as well as potential donors and/or 
volunteers for the barn raising.

Please make checks payable to:
