Dale and Darcy Cahill's second book Tobacco Sheds: Vanishing Treasures of the Connecticut River Valley collects the oral history of tobacco workers in the Connecticut Valley. The book, full of gorgeous pictures, focuses on the people who work so hard to grow and cure some of the world’s most beautiful tobacco leaves. In recent years, over one thousand tobacco sheds have disappeared from the "Tobacco Valley." This important book systematically catalogues tobacco sheds from Putney, Vermont, to Portland, Connecticut, a span of just over one hundred miles. The photographs capture the beauty of these unique farm buildings and serve as a valuable record for these endangered barns. The text offers the agricultural history of each town, helping to connect sheds to their own unique region of New England. In addition, the book reinforces the need for preserving one of New England’s most unusual farm structures. Many sheds in the Connecticut River Valley are still used to dry tobacco leaves that will wrap some of the world’s most expensive cigars, but, sadly, some are being left to slowly deteriorate over time or are being torn down to make way for development. This book will be treasured by cigar smokers and architectural historians and preservationists alike.

Over 200 beautiful color photos provide a detailed look at a wide variety of tobacco sheds in the Connecticut River Valley. An engaging text delivers a unique look at tobacco sheds from a historical, personal, and an agricultural perspective through the changing seasons. Readers will enjoy an overview of the tobacco industry from the farmer's perspective and tour the valley's rich agricultural history, using interviews and hands-on re-search to capture the essence of this special crop. Learn why it is still an important part of life for the region and how Yankee ingenuity married form and function to solve unique problems presented by fickle weather conditions. Further, the text explores the construction and unique features of tobacco sheds, and how some historic sheds have been transformed, given new life and new uses. This book will be treasured by everyone fascinated with farm architecture and rural New England life. Authors: Darcy and Dale Cahill.

Great for keeping in touch or saying thank you, these beautiful note cards are just the ticket!

Both American Indians and early North American settlers grew tobacco, but only on a small scale. It wasn't until the 1830's that Connecticut farmers discovered that a unique combination of soil, climate and natural fertilizers created just the right conditions to grow tobacco on a large scale and for commercial use. It was then that farmers invested their labor and money in creating a single use barn for this singular crop. Tobacco Shed's were designed specifically to dry or "cure" this lucrative leaf. Their unique venting systems allowed drying winds to blow through the barns as they turned from green to brown. When in the early 1900's Windsor CT farmers experimented with growing coveted Cuban tobacco by enclosing the tobacco in loosely woven cloth, they initiated an agricultural trend that swept the Connecticut River Valley - shade grown tobacco. Although now under threat from developers and increased housing demands, these distinctive barns live on, sandwiched between malls and sitting on busy roadsides. They are both a reminder of Connecticut's agricultural past as well as a vital part of a thriving cigar industry. Connecticut's shade-grown broad-leaf tobacco currently stands alone in the world as the preferred wrapping tobacco leaf.
