Seem alike a lot of us like old barns. So much history in them. Thank you for your kind words.
Oh Yes! A lot of history. I grew up on a 200 acre dairy farm in Minnesota. Barn pictures bring back a lot of memories. I learned responsibility. You had to tend to them cows and the young stock 24/7. Whether the weather was bad or you were half sick, it didn't matter you got to do the chores. I learned reliability. You had to be there on time every day. The barn was a great place for father/son discussions. It was also a place where a lot of decisions were made. As I look back, I made one of the most important decisions of my life in the barn after a really good father/son discussion. I was about to be drafted into the U.S. Army and I made the decision to volunteer for the U.S. Air Force rather than be drafted. I liked my job so well I stayed for my 20 years and retired. It was a life changing decision and, as things have turned out over the years, it was a very good decision. Yep, a lot of history in the old barn. Thanks again for posting the images. Keep up the good work with the photos and have a GREAT DAY!

Thank you for your kind words. SO much history in these old barns that will pass us all by, but we that have been raised around old barns such as these, all have some very good memories about them, such as the one you have shared with us.

I want to give you a very special thank you. It was your great pictures that made me think about old barns in this area. Ones I have driven past for a long time not giving them a second thought. Now I look at them in a whole new light. Again I thank you.
