Huron County (Olena) – July 17, 2025
I’ve observed before that this is quite a photogenic Barn and this summer’s photos only confirm that. The Barn Artist (Scott Hagan), the fellow who originally painted this Barn for the state, lists this Barn as #39, The Sherman Barn. I previously visited this Barn in August of 2023, and I loved it just as…

Crawford County – July 15, 2025
Alas, I arrived too late. There is nothing here but a pile of rubble and the ramp leading up to the upper floor. 3536 State Route 598, Crestline; SR 598 about 1.5 miles north of U.S. 30Longitude: 40.83346, Latitude: -82.78757 Taken July 15, 2025

Delaware County – July 15, 2025
The last three times I’ve driven the Cleveland/Columbus i71 route, I was pretty certain that the Delaware barn had been taken down, but it wasn’t until I scheduled a brief detour today that I confirmed it. This post contains that bad news, but also brings good news in that the Barn wasn’t knocked down or…

My friend “typopete” took this photo from the passenger seat of his vehicle and shared it with me. It is here by permission, and I’ve encouraged him to share others as he sees them. 7260 SR 83, just south of HolmesvilleLatitude: 40.61295, Longitude -81.91554 Taken by typopete, on July 10, 2025

Delaware County – March 26, 2025
I’ve seen this Barn from i71 a number of times and wanted to see if I could get closer to take a better picture. I was headed home from a work trip in Springfield, Ohio and took a small detour to visit this well-maintained Barn. The Barn can be found at 40.17054° N, 82.96183° W,…

Delaware County – January 30, 2025
My wife snapped this photo while we were southbound on i71, approaching Columbus while I drove. Once again, it doesn’t appear that I was anticipating this Barn since I wasn’t in the right-hand lane. But she got a good picture, nonetheless. The Barn can be found at 40.17054° N, 82.96183° W, near 6844 Bale Kenyon…

Ross County – December 28, 2024
I wasn’t looking for this Barn although I knew it was nearby. I was on my way to hike a few days along the Buckeye Trail in southern Ohio and this well-illuminated Barn jumped out at me from the darkness. The owners appear to take excellent care of this beauty. This Barn can be found…

Mercer County – December 15, 2024
Another Barn gone. I was on my way home from a weekend on the Buckeye Trail in the St Marys Section and I went looking for this Barn. Not much to see, sadly. I suppose it’s possible that I wasn’t in the right place. . . . Perhaps additional research is needed. If you have…

Auglaize County – November 10, 2024
I chased this barn for what felt like an entire hour. It’s visible from i75, but not conveniently. Its street address is at the end of a long dirt road off Hengstler and would require permission or trespassing, neither of which I was wanting to pursue this day. I found a spot off County Road…

Erie County – August 28, 2024
This is a beautiful Barn, well-situated and apparently well-maintained. I was on a work trip and took a brief detour to find and photograph this Barn. The turn off Cleveland Road (US 6) was a bit sharp, but once I got a glimpse of this Barn, it was relatively easy to find a spot to…
