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.
Tree Stump Barn
At first glance this barn seems very typical, but step inside. It was built on a farm located near the mouth of the Skagit River in northern Washington near LaConner. Being located in the river bottoms the soil was rich and desired for farming.
