SUMMARY:History Conversations | Saving Montgomery County’s Historic Otho Trundle Barn
DESCRIPTION:With Kenny Sholes |Thursday\, September 19 at 7:00 p.m. | Virtual Event |  Otho Trundle’s barn\, thought to have been built around 1830\, will turn 200 in a few years.

In this presentation\, Kenny Sholes – board member of the Historic Medley District and creator of Historic Ag Reserve Properties – will talk about the history of the barn and ongoing efforts to preserve and stabilize the structure.
