All About Barns with Hugh Fraser

Fan favourite Hugh Fraser returns to the Homestead to get into the nitty gritty of Niagara’s barns and answer all your barn history-related questions! Discover the types of barns historically prevalent to the region, how to date barn structures, how barn building practices have evolved, what was considered when designing a fruit barn compared to a dairy barn, and more! 

Hugh Fraser is the author of Swing Beam Barns of Niagara and is currently working on his second volume on the same subject. 

Thursday, October 1 at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. for tours of the Homestead.
