Barns are visible monuments to an agricultural past, which formed the foundation of our community. They represent strong family values, which were passed onto us by those who came before. Their charm is unique, and the history they represent has preserved our rural way of life.
With over 60 barns within the 23 square miles of Bath Township, they are more than just monuments. They have been enhanced with art and decoration or have been transformed into homes, workshops, and business; and some are just barns. These structures continue to inspire us and are a beacon for hard-won bucolic values of the township. However, with changes in the area’s demographics, these structures and what they represent, are fading from our landscape.
With this in mind, Bath Township has formed a committee, led by James McClellan, to focus on preserving and enhancing these structures. The group, named the Bath Barns Project Committee, has a fully formed committee which is working to contact the barn owners of Bath Township to move this project from a vision to a reality.
If you are a barn owner and would like to participate in this project, please email or send a letter to the Bath Township Administrative Office, reception@bathtownship.org or call (330-666-4007).
