Author and photographer Ron Fischer has tried to “photograph all of the barns in Ventura County, so that the children of many of the families will know what it was like when their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents were growing up in the beautiful Ventura County.” He will be signing his best-selling book about “The Barns of Ventura County” on June 15th at 7 p.m. at Border’s books on the Esplanade in Oxnard.

These majestic buildings will soon be gone forever.
