Don’t miss this opportunity to explore this distinctive architectural landmark property of the Upper Valley with historic preservation experts Ian Blackman, Ian Blackman LLC, Restoration & Preservation and Steve Bedard, Bedard Preservation & Restoration. Roaring Creek Farm’s grand porticoed house and Yankee barn sit on a rise above Route 10 in North Haverhill.

Bedard will lead attendees on an exploration of the tavern house to find clues of the building’s early 19th century evolution from the original 1767 structure. Physical inspection will include distinctive masonry styles, the unusual timber frame in the attic, and a variety of interior features. Workshop participants will join Blackman as he conducts a barn assessment of the c. 1830 barn with its barn bridge, three-story interior silo, wagon scale and wooden cow ramp to the basement all still intact!

There will be ample time for Q&A with our experts as participants tour the buildings and during the lunch break.
