The Bulloch County Historical Society is aware of several “beautiful barns,” some relatively well preserved, some renovated, but is calling for information on other barns, in all conditions, as part of its Bullochian Barns project. One of the beautiful barns is behind the circa 1910 farmhouse home of Edwin and Danalyn Akins in the heart of the Stilson community. As their situation shows, the interest in old barns isn’t just in the buildings, but in the people and stories associated with them.
