Homeplace on Green River makes Preservation KY special list Formal announcement will be Tuesday, September 13, 2011, at 2pmET/1pmCT, at the Homeplace on Green River, 5807 New Columbia RD, Campbellsville, KY. The public is invited to attend By George Kolbenschlag Preservation Kentucky, the Commonwealth's statewide nonprofit, membership-based historic preservation organization, has selected historic barns and outbuildings as a part of its 2011 Most Endangered Historic and Prehistoric Places List. Preservation Kentucky will make a state-wide public announcement concerning its focus on farm buildings at Homeplace on Green River, 5807 New Columbia Road (Highway 55), Campbellsville at 2pmET/1pmCT, Tuesday, September 13, 2011.Representatives from Preservation Kentucky and Homeplace on Green River will be on hand to discuss the issue and answer questions. "The selection of Homeplace by Preservation Kentucky to announce its emphasis on restoring endangered historic barns is an indication of the growth of Homeplace in the past several years. We are very pleased they have recognized Homeplace as good place to invest their time and effort and we are excited about PK's initiative to preserve old barns and outbuildings. As the interest in Homeplace grows, so will our success in protecting and promoting rural American culture and showcasing the local history of Adair, Green and Taylor counties," says Ken Forman, president of the Board of Homeplace. The announcement will showcase the ongoing efforts to restore Homeplace's 1860s circa bank barn. The public is invited. According to the most recent US Census of Agriculture in 2007, Kentucky ranks 4th in the nation in numbers of barns built before 1960. Issues affecting historic farms and in turn older barns and outbuildings include declining farm populations, consolidation of farmlands, lack of access to financial resources, development pressures, and technical maintenance and repair challenges. While many older barns and farm buildings remain in use for agriculture across the region, many are in poor condition and a growing number are empty or marginally used. -George Kolbenschlag http://homeplacefarm.org/ This story was posted on 2011-09-11 14:35:40
