Noticed this barn and area while looking for a place to turn around after photographing an old silo about a mile back further down the road. The old barn appears to be in use but not as active as it was once.

The barn appears to have been once just the center section with add-ons over the years. Looks as if it is still in pretty good shape. Co-ords are taken by the road side as I saw a "No Trepassing" sign near the home's driveway. It is made of wood and has not seen paint in many years if at all. This barn reminds me of one my Uncle Roy owned many years ago. He was a horse trainer and his was for hay mostly. My cousins and I used to play there and around it all day when visiting there. It brings back memories of an easier time. This barn is fairly large for this area and appears to have a rather large hay loft in the top. Side lean to covers probably provide cover for equipment; today there is pickup in the left side. I especially liked the silos in the rear area of the barn.
