An Old Hay Barn in a Snowy Field

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with North Sky Realty LLC 6502410580

I have a facination with old barns.  To me they symbolize endurance of americana in a very deep way.  Some are old and weathered, like this one in the photo.  It makes you wonder on its age, and the people who built it.  They always seem to last longer than residential houses, and some stand alone in fields without any connection to humanity sometimes.  This one was off by itself in a field with an tree growing into part of it.  If this building could talk, I would bet it has some interesting stories to tell.

Michael, yes I think this old barn would have some stories to tell.  It could be one hundred years old, for all we know.

Great pic Michael, I love these old remnants, makes you wonder about the history and people who built it and worked the farm.

That is a nice photo Michael. There are a lot of old, decaying barns in my neck of the woods and I'm always on the lookout for a safe place to pull over so I can take a photo. Thanks for sharing.

Note: I have since learned that this type of barn is a corn crib, not a hay barn.  Thanks for your comments everyone!
