The Iowa Barn Foundation is holding its 26th Annual All-State Barn Tour on Sept. 19 to 20, featuring more than 100 barns across the state that will be available for visiting inside and out from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.
The fall tour highlights barns that have received a restoration grant from the foundation and those that have received an Award of Distinction or Preservation Award for restoration funded by the owner. Many of the owners will be on hand to share their memories and regard for the structures and answer your questions.
This year’s tour includes 108 stops, including 12 barns, which are on the tour for the first time. The self-guided fall tour is free and open to the public, made possible by member donors. An interactive online tour guide can be found at iowabarnfoundation.org/barn-tours.
