Heritage Barn rehab gets two years' funds

Washington State Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation announced funding will be available for the next two years for the Heritage Barn Rehabilitation grant program.

Established in 2007, the grant program assists with rehabilitation projects designed to stabilize and preserve designated historic barns.

Since its establishment, three barns in Whitman County have received rehabilitation funds; the Old Bush Place on Carothers Road between Colfax and Pullman, the Heidenreich Barn on the Palouse Highway outside Colfax and the Cook Family Farm on Brown Road near Lamont.
