Historic Shelby County Barn Paintings to be
Auctioned Off by County Wide Historical Alliance, Inc.
Last November Robert Kroeger, of Cincinnati, created 19 Shelby County barn paintings
to raise awareness for historic barn preservation. He then donated them to the Alliance as a
fundraising opportunity. A 2023 calendar and note cards were created with the images of the
paintings. The Alliance is excited to announce the paintings will be going up for auction on-line
during the month of July.
The paintings have been on display at various community festivals and will be displayed
at the Shelby County Fair at the end of July. We will be located in the Bicentennial Traveling
Museum that will be parked next to the Community Foundation Hall. The calendars and sets of
14 note cards will be available for sale for $15 each.
Each painting will be listed by lot number with a description. Opening bids will start at
$50 and each subsequent bid will go up by $5.
The auction will end on Friday, July 29 th at 6:30 p.m. The winners of the bids are to pick
up their paintings on Saturday, July 30 th between 1 and 3 p.m. at the Traveling Museum inside
the Shelby County Fairgrounds or arrange a pickup at a future time with the Shelby County
Historical Society.
