This Dutch Gambrel Barn is a survivor of our most recent Tornado that went through the area.
The Tornado was rated an F-1 and destroyed everything else in the immediate area and went right through the center of this barn.
It is still filled with farm equiptment and will be rebuilt so I will keep the images updated as we go.
It is visible from the highway to the east so you do not have to gain permission to enter the area.
There are also other smaller barns and a Silo nearby as well.
It has a Hay rigging but thankfully the loft was empty at the time.
There are many beautiful and fun things to do in the Ozarks but Tornado's is the one thing that we do have to watch for all the time.
As always have fun be safe and
HAPPY.............................................WAYMARKING
