Magelssen Barn, Juniper Beach, Camano Island
Magelssen Barn, near Juniper Beach on Camano Island.
Gerald Magelssen grew up on a farm on Camano Island and worked in many of the barns.  He will show photographs and slides of over 50 barns on Camano Island.  Many of these barns are no longer standing.  Most of the photographs were taken in the 1970’s and some more recently.   His father, Johan, accompanied Gerald while he photographed many of the barns and helped identify them because he usually remembered who lived on the farm when the barn was built.    Photographs of barns in Stanwood, Silvana, Arlington, Whidbey Island will also be featured. 

The Magelssen Barn is one of three barns on Camano Island on the Washington State Historic Barn Register.  The remaining barns of the area remain important to our local economy and are amazing architectural structures.  Please join us to learn about and help document more information on the barns of the Stanwood Camano area.
For more general info on local barn history - see the new historylink.org page on Snohomish County Barns
