  • The barn is an icon of the heartland’s rural landscape. Yet one special type of barn is on the verge of disappearing altogether in Indiana. A Rural Revolution: Indiana’s Round Barns examines the importance of round barns to the state’s agricultural history and the current efforts to preserve them.

    Really enjoyed this video. I love history and barns.
    Living in the south I’ve never been in a round barn but what a privilege that would be!!!
    It’s so sad to lose so much of our history…God bless everyone!!!

    My serendipitous find of the week! I really have no idea how I happened upon this wonderfully-made production, but it was among my best hours of viewing time. I was unaware of these structures and their unique qualities, but am so delighted to learn about the people and circumstances that bred them. AND--I'm very thankful to those who have preserved these great examples for us to appreciate today. Nice folk, them Hoosiers...

    Thank you for sharing with us, this wonderful example of the history of the round barn. I have only seen them in pictures. The one that was a wedding venue and the one that was the club house for the golfers, were mighty impressive. Thank you again.

    The biggest problem is the state and county keep making you pay property tax on them whether you use them or not. So in the end just knocking them down makes much more sense than costly repairs. If you make one nice, they up the tax bill. I've been through it with a couple old barns that were beautiful but sadly not economical to keep.

    Benton Steel did NOT invent the self supporting roof.That system was used to construct the dome at St.Pauls cathedral in England many years beforehand.

      For the round building, that cathedral is not round.

      @@silentvoiceinthedark5665 They got mistaken for people from India but the people naming the state didn't think north America was India at that point, they named it after the natives who they called Indians who lived there. I mean by that logic any word that has two or more meanings can be used interchangeably without regard for intent.

    My Uncle has a barn in Wisconsin, cleaned it up and rents it for weddings. I know at one time he had every weekend booked all summer, made a lot of $$$. Now if young men were wise they wouldn’t make such a foolish commitment with the State and fickle modern women :(
