Photographer captures images, tales of Michigan's barns

Mary Keithan

As you drive along Michigan highways and roads, how much attention do you pay to barns? My next guest has discovered that those easy to overlook barns tell fascinating stories of the people and the communities that built them.

Mary Keithan took her first photograph of a barn in 1990 and that launched a nine-year push to photograph and tell the stories of barns all over Michigan.

Her photographs are now on exhibit at the Kalamazoo Valley Museum.
