Following a short CCHS annual meeting, Eliot will talk about the East Monitor Barn that Moses Whitcomb built in 1901. Moses hired 36-year-old Charles Miller from North Ferrisburgh to frame it. Born into a family of timber framers, Miller had already built several monumental barns around Chittenden and Addison County. Eliot will look at several of Miller's other barns and explore pages of his work journals, which have opened up some fascinating connections.
