Historic Connecticut Barns

(Bridgewater, Connecticut)

The Connecticut Barn is an endangered relic of an agricultural society that is now all but a memory. Despite the present popularity of supporting your local farmer and the restaurant industry's embrace of farm to table products, there is still a shortage of resources available to preserve these New England treasures. Award winning photographer, Wendy Carlson, recently shot a pictorial for The New York Times. Wrapped in a Connecticut winter, these beautiful antiques loom over the white countryside.
