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.
