Using a quarter-size replica of a 19th Century American Midwest timber frame barn, the Michigan Barn Preservation Network visited Rolland-Warner Middle School May 20 to give 6th and 7th grade students a chance to "raise" a barn.
The afternoon event introduced students to part of our agricultural heritage, the pride of craftsmanship and offered a glimpse at what can happen when people come together to accomplish something that they cannot do alone.
Rolland-Warner Teacher Mike Wiltse was joined by Michigan Barn Preservation volunteers Melissa Jaskiewicz, Ben Lewis and Jen Kramer.For a look at photos from the afternoon event, please visit the LCS Picasa albums at:
