"The Barns and Agriculture of Pennsylvania's Northern Tier: A Portrait" Now Available!

The Northern Tier Cultural Alliance is pleased to announce the availability of its’ brand new DVD, “The Barns and Agriculture of Pennsylvania’s Northern Tier: A Portrait”. The film is the culmination of an 18 month project focusing on regional barns – their architecture, uses and history. The hour-long documentary takes a look at the history of the barn structure, how to identify its origins, and the role it plays in past and present agriculture. The DVD also features interviews with barn experts and local farmers as well as footage from NTCA's two Year of the Barn Dances held in Coudersport and Troy.

The DVD is available at the PA North country Artisan Center & Store (PaNCACS) in Towanda, Settlement House Fine Arts in Sylvania and Richar Insurance & Financial Services in Galeton. For more information, call Kathy at PaNCACS at 570-268-5055.


Pennsylvania's North Country

"The cultural heritage and folklife of a particular region is shaped by the geography, the settlement patterns and experiences of the people who live in that region. For instance, one is more likely to find basket making, wood carving and cabinetry traditions in the Northern Tier where the woods are abundant... And the impetus to survive the harsh realities of great distances, poor soil and an untameable mountainous landscape have shaped the independent character and rural identity of people living in the Northern Tier."

-- Amy Skillman, Institute for Cultural Partnerships
from "Headwaters and Hardwoods"
