This barn belongs to the Ellis family, and was built in the late 1800s. Initially a horse barn, it was converted to hang tobacco in the loft but kept the horse stalls below.

Barns represent far more than just agrarian roots. They reveal past traditions, lifestyles and values, offering insights into the Midwest’s past and present. Barns resonate with a myriad of Midwesterners and for many, they’re emblematic of home and history. This is exactly what gave Carol Peachee the drive to photograph them for her new book, Kentucky Barns: Agricultural Heritage of the Bluegrass.
