Artist and writer, Robert Kroeger, based in Cincinnati, recently finished The Ohio Barn Project, which involved painting at least one old barn and writing an essay about it in each of our 88 counties - sort of a way to preserve the history of them before they are gone.  The History Press/Arcadia Press will publish the book in March 2021. 

For the next few years, Robert is offering fundraiser opportunities to historical societies. We were fortunate to schedule such a fundraiser at our Champaign County Historical Museum on March 31, 2021 at noon.  ​
​

The fundraiser will feature a book signing, him telling a few barn stories, offering a few paintings for auction, and a palette knife demo painting that will then be raffled.  Half the proceeds from the auction and raffle will be donated to the Champaign County Historical Society.
 
A great way to get a flavor for Robert’s background, paintings and essays is to visit this website:
 THE BARN PROJECTS (weebly.com).
