The Orcas Island Historical Society will sponsor a Tour of Historic Barns on Oct. 13 and 14. This self-guided tour will include seven barns and the historical museum. Demonstrations and special talks will take place and a “barn dance” is planned.

The barns tour committee would like to hear from anyone who may have historical information about the following barns:

Piaget and Henderson in Deer Harbor, Perry (the Apple house) and Schmidt on Crow Valley Rd., Camp Orkila’s, Knapp on Buckhorn Rd., and the Buddha barn (Brennan).

OIHM is offering members a $5 discount off the $20 ticket price for this event. Applications for membership can be made at orcasmuseum.org or at the museum at 376-4849.
