The barn that has become a widely known Daviess County landmark is now one of 10 barns being celebrated during Indiana’s Bicentennial.
The Washington Times Herald reports today that the T.C. Singleton round barn, located on SR 57 South and owned by Cindy and Tony Barber, was judged by a panel of artists, preservationists and agriculturalists. The top 10 barns out of 199 were selected based on architectural and historical features and other criteria.
Tony Barber told the newspaper they were humbled by the honor and hopeful it may bring some additional recognition to the county and the city of Washington during the state bicentennial.
The top 10 barns will each receive a handcrafted framed plaque made by Scottsburg artist Dorrel Harrison, who makes creations from reclaimed barn wood.
