This self-guided tour will feature six historic barns, dating from the early 1840s to the 1930s in Hancock County. Each barn tells a unique story about the farm on which it sits, and the families who have owned it. In addition to learning more about these impressive structures, guests on the tour will enjoy a wide array of activities!

 

The Hancock Historical Museum’s Historic Barn Tour was awarded the Ohio State Historic Preservation Office’s Public Education & Awareness Award for preservation excellence in 2014. Ohio History Connection's former CEO, Burt Logan, recognized the Historic Barn Tour as a “model program for the state.” In 2018, the Historic Barn Tour was honored to be a recipient of the Scenic Ohio Award.
