As farming practices changed in the 1800s and the early Dutch culture became more and more American, so did the way barns were built. Well travel back in time by visiting four historic barns in Rockland County that tell these stories about our agrarian past. The tour will explore the change and learn the reasons for it. A bus will take us to three local barns, and well end the tour at our own barn on the four-acre former Blauvelt farmstead property.
