Standing Twenty: Southern Indiana's Remaining True-Circular Round Barns

By Kevin Douglas West

Book Overview

Barns nostalgically dot the rolling Southern hills of Indiana's farmland. With changing farm industry dynamics, barns are less in use. Even more unique; however, are round barns. During a boom-building era from 1890-1930, over 225 round barns were built in Indiana, the most of any state. Today only 20 round barns remain in Southern Indiana. Photojournalist, Kevin Douglas West has traveled his self-created Southern Indiana Round Barn Trail and captured all 20 of the round barns in stunning color and black and white. His stories of the history, current owners, and his personal experiences are alive with a deep passion for Indiana history and its contemporary beauty.
