  Post and beam barn plans??

Timber framing is not something you want to leap into with out training. For example you do not use old dried timbers but new semi green timbers. The shrinkage of the timbers tightens the joints and strengthens the structure. The dowels are just held in with the shrinkage.
I have seen a number of courses offered and they are not free, although someone gets a free structure out of it.
I think you need to find someone that will do it for you. Personally have not but grew up where a lot of friends were building log structures. Despite this I would not tackle it unless I worked with someone first.
I am not sure that I would want to do that much work today for a barn. You can look at my barn pictures. It is certainly a nice structure and more secure than a post and beam.

I am sorry Beetle I guess I did not answer you initial question. Nearly all post and beam barn are custom and many of the old timers never used any diagrams. You would likely need to draw up you own plans.

Beetle;
Sounds like fun. I have toyed with the idea more from the timber truss point of view than the post and beam barn.
If you look at my pictures I have the thought of building my next structure using ICF's and then adding timber trusses to the top.
I rocked the walls on part of the ICF on the house with natural rock and think a structure with rock in and out and the timber trusses above would be interesting, like an old PA barn.
