DCR Celebrates Preservation Month
DCR’s Brookwood Farm Barn Raising
On Friday, May 18th 2012, DCR Commissioner Ed Lambert joined faculty and students from North Bennet Street School at DCR's Brookwood Farm in Canton for a Historic Barn Raising.
DCR staff and North Bennet Street School's Preservation Carpentry Program have been working to restore the barn using tools and materials that would have been used in its original creation. As a result of this project,the Commonwealth of Massachusetts was able to preserve a piece of its history, and the students of North Bennet Street School had a one of a kind experience. We look forward to continuing this partnership.
May is Preservation Month, and the Department of Conservation and Recreation is showcasing its preservation efforts through a variety of interpretive programs at many unique historic properties in the Commonwealth’s state parks.
