We’re here to help! Maine Preservation is hosting office hours on the first Monday of every month to provide guidance for your historic rehabilitation and stewardship efforts. This month we’ll be joined by Jessica MilNeil of Preservation Timber Framing to field questions and lead discussion on historic barns. Whether along the coast, in the western mountains, or in The County, you’re sure to see a timber frame barn along the road. While barns reflect the rich agricultural heritage of the state, their declining utility and enormous size pose a great challenge to owners who wish to keep them upright. If you’ve been wondering where to start with the old barn on your property, this is the talk for you!

Jessica launched her carpentry career as a member of the Appalachian Mountain Club’s construction crew, and developed her skills in the Preservation Carpentry program at the North Bennet Street School in Boston. Jessica found her way to Preservation Timber Framing after a Summer Fellowship in 2008 with Maine Preservation.
