About The Bicentennial Barns Leadership
The Bicentennial Barn project was initiated by a group of citizens interested in advancing agriculture through reflection of its heritage. An ad hoc committee of agriculturalists, artists, and historians has come together to develop this program, raise funds to underwrite the development of the contest and exhibit, and steward the project to completion. Our committee will be in tact throughout the duration of the celebration; however, there is no paid staff. At the end of the program, it is our intent that longer term outcomes of the project will be taken up by the Indiana Barn Foundation, convention and tourism bureaus, local preservation groups, and others. Some of those longer term outcomes might include tourism trails, a barn census, a permanent home for the exhibit, expanded use of Landmarks' pin frame barn program, and more. This project is endorsed by the Indiana Bicentennial Commission. For more information e-mail us at [email protected].

First Lady To Unveil Bicentennial Barn Quilt at Statehouse on February 29th, 2016
Good news! IBF's Indiana Bicentennial Barn Quilt will be publicly unveiled at the Indiana Statehouse by Indiana's First Lady and Bicentennial Ambassador Karen Pence, in a ceremony to be held at 3:00pm at the Indiana Statehouse. The quilt will then be on display in the North Atrium, just outside of the First Lady's office for two weeks, where it will receive great exposure alongside the Bicentennial Display which includes the bicentennial bison.
This is a wonderful opportunity to bring attention to IBF's contribution to Indiana's Bicentennial, as well as our mission of preserving Indiana's historic barns. The Bicentennial Barn Quilt is complete, and is an heirloom quality piece with 92 squares contributed by artisans from all over the state, depicting a barn from each of Indiana's 92 counties. This project is an officially sanctioned Bicentennial Legacy Project, and was endorsed by Indiana Landmarks and the Indiana State Quilt Guild.
Thank you to the Indiana Bicentennial Quilt Committee, and especially to Joy William, the quilt coordinator who has worked tirelessly to ensure the quilt came to completion, and for producing a wonderful keepsake poster and book about the quilt with photos, barn stories, and quilters' bios. And thank you to the committee and others who have contributed to making this a reality: Pam Pfrang, Gwen Gutwein, Cindy Egly, Nicole Mudrack, Mac Williams, Marsh Davis, and Janet Ayres.
Indiana Barn Foundation to be Joined by National Barn Alliance For Conference July 18th, 2015
The Indiana Barn Foundation, whose mission is to support the preservation of historic barns, has gained national recognition. With plans for the Foundation's 2nd Annual Meeting and Conference underway, the organization was approached by leaders of the National Barn Alliance (NBA) with a request to hold a joint meeting.
"We are thrilled to be joined by the NBA for this meeting. Together we can produce a high-caliber event that will bring experts in barn preservation from all over the U.S." says Indiana Barn Foundation (IBF) founder, Carolyn Rahe.
The Annual Meeting and Conference will be held at the Normandy Barn of the Indiana State Fairgrounds from 9am to 5pm on Saturday, July 18th. From barn enthusiasts to experts, this one-day event will offer options for anyone who appreciates barns and wants to see them remain part of Indiana's landscape.
Barn owners can learn from a panel of contractors and preservation experts during a Question and Answer Session, and will hear about legislative efforts affecting barn owners.
Keynote speaker is architect Chuck Bultman, of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Bultman has adapted over 30 barns to new uses, including wedding venues and event spaces, and has restored barns "to just be barns". Bultman is a board member of the NBA and member of several preservation organizations including the Timber Framers Guild.
Attendees will also meet artists and crafters with a passion for artwork that features barns, including painter Gwen Gutwein, photographer Marsha Williamson-Mohr, and Indiana Artisan Dorrell Harris. Indiana Barn Foundation's plans for a Bicentennial Barn Quilt will also be revealed.
Other highlights of the day will be a screening of "The Resurrection of a Barn" by IBF member and filmmaker Freddi Stevens-Jacobi, a catered lunch served family style and accompanied by live music, and a close-up look at how barns are constructed with the raising of a scale model wooden barn and also a computer-generated barn model. At 3 o'clock the conference will move to Zionsville, and conclude with a tour of the farm and historic barns of Traders Point Creamery.
Those who wish are welcome to join IBF and NBA members for an evening meal at Traders Point Creamery in The Loft Restaurant. Dinner is not included in the registration fee, and reservations are recommended.
Thanks to a generous grant from the National Barn Alliance, the registration cost for the entire day will include lunch and barn tour and will be just $40 per person ($30 for IBF or NBA members). Online registration is available on the Indiana Barn Foundation web site at www.indianabarns.org, under Events. Membership forms can also be found on the website. Call 574-342-3812 or email [email protected] for more information.
