Utah Heritage Foundation

As some may know, we've had some discussions at UHF as to whether or not there would ever be sufficient volunteer support to get a statewide barn alliance going in Utah.  We'd love to get some momentum behind documenting the fabulous physical agricultural heritage in the state, as well as start considering how best to put some additional resources behind supporting this for promotion, support, technical assistance, and rehabilitation.

Today's article in the Salt Lake Tribune about the Holmgren Barn in Tremonton from 1940 recalls such traditional construction that I'm discussing.  Though the structure is noteworthy, there is certainly family history that is worthy of documentation as well, making the story even richer.  Fortunately, the current generation realizes this and is interested in receiving those that would like to visit.
