Bitterroot Barns
Wendy Beye has a passion for the barns in the Bitteroot Valley. She and her husband, both pilots, have flown the valley photographing barns from the air. She figures there are about 600 historic barns, some strong and enduring, some falling down, some now skeletons on the land.
Below you will find her detailed photos of the barns she's researched as well as the story of her extensive investigations into their history.
Watch for Wendy's barn stories in each edition of the Ravalli Repulblic's Agriculture Magazine.
And here's a story about Wendy herself.
Over 450-500 historic barns-in a variety of stages of integrity-dot the floor of
the Bitteroot Valley.
