Barn Again!  Awards Program

Each year, The National Trust for Historic Preservation and Successful Farming magazine accept nominations for BARN AGAIN! Awards. These awards recognize farm and ranch families who have preserved their historic agricultural buildings for use in their day-to-day operations.

To be eligible for an award, applicants must be owners or operators of a working farm or ranch, and the historic building(s) must be actively used in the farm/ranch operation. Community use, non-agricultural, housing conversion, and retail projects are not eligible. Nominations will be accepted in two categories:

  1. Preservation of a historic farm or ranch (multiple buildings)
  2. Preservation and practical use of an older barn or other farm building

To nominate a farm or ranch, please download the nomination form (PDF), fill it out completely and forward slides, photographs and other supporting materials as requested on the form, to:
