In the House with Kevin O'Connor | Ken Burns Part 1

Award-winning filmmaker Ken Burns, timber framer Tedd Benson, and This Old House host Kevin O’Connor, discuss Burns’ recently completed a post and beam barn that combines the unique spiritual feel of 19th century New England with modern-day functionality. The men delve deep into the artistic and collaborative process, and the philosophy of filmmaking through the lens of building.

Funding for THIS OLD HOUSE is provided by The Home Depot and Renewal By Andersen.
