This bill proposes an appropriation of $50,000 from the arts and cultural heritage fund for the fiscal year 2027 to support the establishment and operation of a Centennial Barns Registry. The funding will be allocated to the governing board of the Minnesota Historical Society, which will oversee the registry's creation.

The purpose of the Centennial Barns Registry is to enable landowners to voluntarily register barns that were built before 1959. This initiative aims to gather and provide information regarding the history and locations of these historic barn structures across Minnesota, thereby promoting the preservation of the state's agricultural heritage.
