    Delaware County – March 12, 2026

    The roof is on, the walls are up. There’s even a healthy amount of Zip Systems insulated paneling up. The original red boards (with the Logo) aren’t all installed, however. And what’s perplexing is that the previous time I’d been able to get a photo (January 28, 2026), the Zip Systems paneling wasn’t evident, and…

    Still there! I wasn’t able to get any photos, but the Barn is still there.

    Taken from the passenger seat, through a dirty windshield, it’s still exciting to see this Barn taking shape. Something isn’t quite right, however. It’s not simply that the roof isn’t enclosed, but the Logo doesn’t quite look right, either. They’ve got time. Where to view and visit: 6844 Bale Kenyon Road, Lewis Center (40.17054, -82.96183)There…

    Alas, another Barn gone. Google Streetview last captured it in September, 2021. This was Scott Hagan’s 62nd Barn to be painted. Nothing to visit or see here: 5658 US Route 22, Circleville (39.58590° N, 83.05865° W) There’s a farmhouse driveway to the east of the site where you can pull off for a moment. Taken…

    Scioto County – October 27, 2025

    We were on our way from a weekend in Kentucky to visit some relatives in Columbus and we had some extra time and so decided to meander our way north. We approached from the south on Ohio 335 and found a place to pull off facing the Logo end of the Barn. There weren’t any…

    I don’t know the full story (and if you do, please contact us in the comments), but it appears that Cat’s Meow used to have a shed on their property with the Logo. If you’re not familiar with Cat’s Meow Village and their history with Ohio’s Bicentennial Barns, there is plenty to look at most…

    Wayne County – January 6, 2026

    I was in Wooster to pick up some items on this dark and rainy night. And even though it was only 6pm, it was dark. I missed the pull-off on my first pass (headed west) and had to go about a mile before there was a good opportunity to stop safely on the north side…

    Coshocton – February 2025

    My friend “typopete” took this photo and shared it with me. It is here by permission, and I’ve encouraged him to share others as he sees them. Coshocton County was the twentieth Barn to be painted. Where to see and visit: 54210 US 36, Fresno (40.29429° N, 81.74177° W) Taken by typopete, in February, 2025

    Madison County – October 3, 2025

    Another Barn gone. Google street view last saw it August 2014. But the last time it had the Logo in street view was August 2012. And by January 2016, there was nothing there at all. Wilkinson records that the “barn was first dedicated on July 11, 1998, when the logo was painted on the west…

    Clinton County – October 2, 2025

    My notes say that I passed by this Barn on September 23rd, but I didn’t get a picture. And I almost didn’t get a second chance. A short drive from the Greene County Barn, I parked alongside the New Oglesbee Road (Oglesbee, before i71 came through, used to continue south) and waved at someone mowing…
