SF 4000 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Centennial barns registry appropriation

SF 4000 appropriates $50,000 from the arts and cultural heritage fund to create a voluntary registry for historic barns built before 1959. It directly affects landowners of qualifying barns, allowing them to register their structures and share historical and location details. The key mechanism is funding the Minnesota Historical Society to operate this registry, documenting barns across Minnesota. This bill establishes a formal system for preserving and mapping these historic agricultural structures without imposing requirements on landowners.
