OCTOBER 27TH

On Tuesday, October 27th at 7:00 PM Landmarks, Inc. is offering a free program on care and restoration of old barns or other timber frame structures. The speaker for this presentation will be Tim Narkiewicz from Trillium Dell Timberworks. Trillium Dell Timberworks is based in rural Knox County Illinois. They specialize in timber frame construction techniques both with new buildings and the repair of old buildings of various timber frame styles. They have repaired, rebuilt or restored many old structures throughout the US. Tim is in the area making an assessment of repairs needed on the 1869 Fairfield Church located north of Newman and an 1860s hand hewn timber frame barn near Newman. He will give a talk on the work of the company and have a slide presentation of some of their past accomplishments. More information about Trillium Dell Timberworks can be viewed at www.trilliumdell.com. The program will be in the Landmarks' Meeting House on South Pike Street, across from the Rutherford House in Oakland. If you have questions about a structure bring photos for Tim. He will also be available to visit other area structures on Wednesday if there is interest.
