The Heritage Barn Project
The Heritage Barn Project was started in 2004. Gwen embarked on a self-prescribed project to document on canvas in oil paint, historic barns throughout her home state of Indiana and then included barns from other states.
The 186 barns featured in Gwen’s published gallery book, “Heritage Barns of Indiana,” can be found online by clicking here or at various galleries and shops in Indiana. For more information about the book or Gwen’s work, please click here to contact Gwen.

Leik Family Farm Barn
Located on a much loved and carefully maintained farm near Portland, Michigan, this barn continues to share its history with each new generation of the original farm owners.
