CCCA BARN PRESERVATION COMMITTEE HOLDS WORKSHOP

submitted by CCCA 

The Barn Preservation Committee of the Cavendish Community and Conservation Association will sponsor an educational session on Sunday, May 18, 2008 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.   Local builder and barn owner, Bruce McEnaney will demonstrate how to determine the age of a barn using old barn building materials to illustrate his methods.

The workshop will be held at the Cavendish Inn on Route 131 between Cavendish and Proctorsville villages.  There is no charge to attend, although donations are welcome.

Barn owners, contractors, builders and any other persons with an interest in reconstruction or restoration of old agricultural structures are invited to attend.  This is the first in a series of practical, hands-on workshops that are planned by the Barn Preservation Committee.  The goal is to provide information and a link to resources for barn owners and contractors to help save as many old barns in Cavendish as possible.    Inviting local contractors and builders as well as barn owners will bring together particular expertise and need.
