THE HUNDRED-YEAR BARN

THE HUNDRED-YEAR BARN by Patricia MacLachlan

he Hundred-Year Barn is told through the eyes of a boy as he watches the building and usage through the years of his family's barn. His father calls it the Hundred-Year Barn, because he says it will last for a hundred years. Beautifully written and just as beautifully illustrated by Kenard Pak (author and illustrator of other books shared on this page Have You Heard the Nesting Bird and Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring).

Alongside Activity- Did you know Ohio has a list of Century Farms on the Ohio Department of Agriculture website? There are 1500 farms and at least 2 per county. We happen to live next to one! Drive by one with your kids or maybe ask if you can tour it and learn the history.
