If These Walls Could Talk

At American Barnwood, we work with academic historians who specialize in researching historic barns and the roles they played in the lives of the families and communities that built them. Through this research, we document each barn’s story–when it was constructed, who worked the land, and how the structure evolved over time.

When you purchase reclaimed barn wood from us, you receive a summary of your barn’s history, often accompanied by historic photographs. It’s a way to share the story behind the material and give your project a meaningful connection to its first chapter.

Retailers, designers, and contractors: if you share or print these histories for your clients, please credit American Barnwood as the informational source.
