Barns stand as a testament to a bygone era. To the way farming used to be. On working farms old barns are put to use, but not as originally intended, which was for storing hay in the haymow and cows or cattle and young stock below. Many return to earth, little by little, until one day the barn youíve been driving by is now flat, marked only by a silo.

Illustrated with 200 barn sketches, diagrams, and maps, this book takes you on a journey through the St Croix River Valley. It grounds you in the geography, geology and biology of the region and introduces you to its original inhabitants, the Dakota and Ojibwe peoples, European explorers, fur traders and loggers and the settlers that followed them. It is a celebration of regional diversity and architectural expression through a single type of building--the barn.

This book presents the fundamentals of rapid coloured pencil sketching to 'capture the moment' for designers and for travelers who have always wanted to draw the notable places they visit.
