Featured Authors
Nancy Schumm Burgess and Ernest J. Schweit have teamed up to produce Wisconsin Barns, a charming and beautiful book that allows readers to experience the rich agrarian history of Wisconsin through its iconic barns.
Writer Nancy Schumm-Burgess digs up fascinating details on the backgrounds of the structures, including a rare log barn dating to the 1840s, a barn that once served as a stagecoach stop, and another designed by African American architect Algie Shivers.
Ernest J. Schweit’s 107 photographs in the book capture the storied structures in all seasons—from modest mid-1800s barns to round and octagonal structures to grand, arch-roofed edifices.
"I was constantly impressed by how these barns withstood the ravages of time,” says Schweit. “I think that says something about the people who built them."

NAME: Eric Hanson JOB TITLE: Designer
YEARS WITH FCP: 2 1/2
DID YOU KNOW:
Montana born, a farmer's son,
Degree in hand—learned a ton. Design by day, design by night,
Weekend fun always in sight.
Sunny, powder day is key,
Second love, warm BLT.
First of course, wife so lovely,
Rarely tea, just dark coffee.
In the heat, water bliss,
On the lake he wouldn't miss.
Likes to drive & wrench old beaters,
Extra pennies make much neater. Frequent pranks, jest, and fun,
"What a punk!" is loudly sung.
Alt-power plans always in stir,
What right now? heat from solar.
So now you know a little more,
Vague definitions of his core.
Boring rhyming, will it end?
Easy! To the trash do send!
