Missing a few trees since Wilkinson1 visited, this weathered Barn on the eastern banks of the Great Miami River sits tall and proud.
Hagan signature block
I’ve not explored the Great Miami River, choosing to follow the Buckeye Trail up the Little Miami on the other side of Cincinnati. Looking at the topography of the land, I wonder two things.
First, if the river will ever want to straighten out the bend north and west of this Barn, threatening this site.
And second, if the swale to the south of the site had ever been inundated by the river during a flood.
A few maps I found showed that train tracks were once situated to the west of the Barn, leading south to Miami Station.
Hagan’s signature block is still visible to the bottom right. His website indicates that this was his 72nd.
(reflection)
Where to view and visit: 7941 East Miami River Road, at 39.23748° N, 84.70297° W and there’s plenty of room in front of the Barn for stopping.
