Senate Bill 86, passed in 2018, highlights the historical significance of Ohio’s barns. Four young women and their teachers from Genoa Middle School in Westerville, Ohio, worked over many years to successfully pass this legislation, which honors and pays tribute to Ohio’s history and serves to preserve its barns for generations to come.
