They say Oregon has a great history, and nothing says that better than the Barns of Washington County. They say a picture can tell say a thousand words, but I really wish these old barns could talk. Some of these old barns have been around since the gold rush. Others have seen their owners through world wars, the great depression, and other world conflicts. Yet, they still stand and do their job, not all of them look as good as the day they were built, but just the same, they are beautiful.
I love nothing more than driving around on a Sunday afternoon and just looking at some of the history that Oregon has on these old farms. Some have been owned by the same families for more than 100 years. I'm listening to some of these pictures, but still would love to hear more.

If you are in Oregon, and would like to get a map of some great roads to drive to see some of these old barns, feel free to contact me anytime and I will forward you a map of the Washington County farming community.
