The Dutch Barn Preservation Society
Dat er ook in het buitenland nog steeds aandacht is voor het agrarische erfgoed hier, bewijst de Dutch Barn Preservation Society waar de Hooibergstichting contact mee heeft. Op de website van de society heet het:
"The New World Dutch Barn, as it has come to be known, is one of the last physical reminders of the pre-industrial agricultural heritage of eastern New York and New Jersey. The efficient, heavy timber structural system adapted from Northern European precedents, reflects the practical construction and engineering skills of the predominately Dutch immigrants who settled the area, and their descendants. These barns are now rapidly disappearing from our rural landscapes and are in urgent need of increased study and preservation efforts."
