Thank you Zaz and the Dispatch for this article.  I believe with my whole heart that more people are discovering the importance and worth of our heritage barns  -- not just in their construction materials but in the respect they deserve. Some years ago, I had the honor of being asked to write a book about American barns and worked with colleagues in Alaska to feature a photo of the Breeden Barn being moved to the Museum of Alaska Transportation and Industry, Wasilla.  And, having visited the Matanuska Valley and Palmer, memories of the barns remain imprinted in my mind.  Thank you to those who are caring, saving, restoring.  Thank you for being BARN BELIEVERS.
