The Old Barn

Great Aunt Nellie and Grandma Lena
family barn built 1900



















We are so excited to have been working on our old family barn this summer. Terry has been doing some of the work, and we have also had the help of the crew from EcoStructures.   When we were growing up it was full of dairy cows and calves.  There was a tall silo, a grainary and a pigsty out back.  Right now we use it to house most of the hay that we have harvested for the long winter ahead.  Five generations of our family have made use of this sturdy shelter.  We hope that given a good dose of TLC a couple more will have at least the opportunity to build upon this legacy within its comforting walls.  We love this old barn full of friendly ghosts and fond memories.

  1. Riding sidesaddle is an absolute art! Just like Ginger Rogers - she did everything Fred Astair did only she did it backwards and in heels!
