The barn's history is revealed from it's "birth" during the revolution, through the civil war, great depression,1960s peace rally, an unfortunate fire and its rebuilding and return to it's original purpose-to house horses.
Ever occupied with the details of existence, generations of fleeting lives brush past the stalwart narrator spinning a tale of contrast and continuance that is a humbling reminder of the beauty and brevity of life.
