Photo of a large number of men standing on the site of a barn raising, posing for the photograph. The raising of a barn was a labour intensive task that required the use of many hands, so it often turned into a community event where neighbours would help build each other's barns. The date and location of this barn raising is unknown, but it does demonstrate that this was a predominantly male activity. Rolling hills are visible in the background, and the foundations of the barn or a fence are visible in the foreground.
