Best thing to do is figure out what type of timbers and siding you have. Chestnut, tight ringed pine or wide pine from a large tree, oak if not all checked to hell, walnut,cherry, etc. All have monetary value at the moment. The finished product sells for $5+ bdft (for 1 inch thick flooring resawn from antique beams thats $5+ sqft).
Timbers handhewn have value as fireplace mantles and decorative beams in a new constrcution.
I'd measure the timbers and lengths. Determine the framing style. Get a quote for a take down with marking timbers for reassembly. Another quote for demolition and timber salvaging. If you don't do the work yourself I'd expect you'd be lucky to break even (nail pulling and embedded metal detecting is costly). Theres a market for dry stacked foundation stone as well.
Check out the tfguild.org as well.
Good luck
