Abstract: "Under contract to the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office, Brad A. Bays of Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, conducted the Survey of Historic Barns in Southeastern Oklahoma (OK/SHPO Management Region Four) during the fiscal year 2013-2014. The survey examined 11 counties in southeastern Oklahoma encompassing 11,426 square miles. The area was examined during 30 days in the field, which allowed roughly two to four days per county. The goals of the survey were: (a) to develop an historic context of barns in the region; (b) to sample each county in the region to collect empirical data and report general (thematic-level) patterns of historic barn resources that will assist the preservation planning process; (c) to substantially increase the number of historic barns recorded in the Oklahoma Landmarks Inventory (OLI); and (d) to identify historic barns in the region that are eligible for National Register listing. A total of 110 properties were recorded at a minimal level of documentation for the Oklahoma Landmarks Inventory, including 21 properties deemed National Register-eligible." Funding was provided in part by a 2013 Historic Preservation Fund grant administered by the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office (project number OK-13-402, grant number P13AF00012) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
