If you're driving around Minnesota, you're likely to see a good number of old barns... some dating back to the late 1800s. Tomorrow the Minnesota Historical Society will present a workshop on fixing up old barns. Mary Humstone is the founder of Barn Again!, a national program designed to promote barn restoration. She says interest in restoring old barns is increasing, because fixing up a barn can be cheaper than building a new one... and because people feel a connection to these buildings.
