The
New World Dutch
Barn, as it has
come to be known, is one of the last physical reminders of
the pre-industrial agricultural heritage of eastern New York
and New Jersey. The efficient, heavy timber structural system
adapted from Northern European precedents, reflects the practical
construction and engineering skills of the predominately Dutch
immigrants who settled the area, and their descendants. These
barns are now rapidly disappearing from our rural landscapes
and are in urgent need of increased study and preservation
efforts.
