Barns of Nebraska’s Ethnic Communities is a traveling exhibit that pays tribute to the history of barns in Nebraska’s ethnic communities. The exhibit was funded in part by the Nebraska Humanities Council and accompanied the Smithsonian Institution’s Barn Again! Celebrating an American Icon exhibit as it spent more than a year traveling across the state of Nebraska.

The exhibit includes photographs with text in a table-top format, brochures and a 1:48 scale model cut-away of a working barn that is a replica of a barn built in Washington County in the mid-1920s. The barn is so detailed that it has tiny electric lights, people and hay bales.

The exhibit is available at no charge (with the possible exception of shipping costs) to schools, libraries, museums and private organizations. For more information, please contact the Washington County Historical Association at 402-468-5740 or info@newashcohist.org.
