Heritage Barn deadlines set

Next deadline for nominating a barn for the state’s Heritage Barn Register is Friday, Oct. 7, with the deadline to submit an application for barn rehabilitation grants set for Oct. 17. A program of the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, this initiative established the Heritage Barn Register, a statewide list of historically significant barns.

Owners of barns more than 50 years old that retain a significant degree of historic integrity can nominate their barn to be designated as a Heritage Barn.

Additionally, owners of the designated barns are eligible to apply for matching grants to assist with stabilization and rehabilitation projects.
