Description
Ken Torr’s barn photos are a tribute to Putnam County agriculture heritage. The collection presented in this book compliments the Putnam County Museum’s centerpiece artifact—a “design replica” of the original Sutherlin Round Barn, once located on County Road 100 East, in Greencastle, Indiana. Ken’s interest in photography and barns was re-enforced by his initial photos of the Sutherlin Round Barn in the late 1960s. M.T. Publishing Company, Inc. is excited to offer this exclusive photographic documentation of The Barns of Putnam County, Indiana.
This pictorial is an 11 x 8 ½-inch, coffee-table-style book with a deluxe hard bound cover featuring 232 glossy, double-coated pages allowing for superior photo reproduction. Additionally, a $9.95 downloadable Digital Edition is offered in conjunction with a hardcopy book purchase.
