Barn
Again
Barns represent a tradition of hard work and independence. Historically,
barns were the heart of a farm. They provided more than storage and shelter
to a farmer's livelihood. They were places for dancing, praying, playing,
and courting. Even as they disappear from our prairie landscape, barns
remain a powerful symbol of Nebraska, as well as American, culture.
The Nebraska Humanities Council presents Barn Again® Celebrating an American Icon from the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service at Stuhr Museum from September 4 - October 15. Barn Again® examines the importance of barns in agricultural history and individual lives.
