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. Where to view and visit: 6844 Bale Kenyon Road, Lewis…

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. Where to view and visit: 6844 Bale Kenyon Road, Lewis Center (40.17054, -82.96183)There is…

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…

Geauga County – August 17, 2024
It was raining when I approached this Barn and I thought I’d take a photo anyway. I think the rain drops, caught by the shutter, bring a different light to this Barn. Note the flag that was added to the door since my last visit in April. Where to view and visit: 13034 Madison Road,…

Ottawa County – August 15, 2024
This is a beautiful Barn just off of US 2 in Ottawa County. The Bicentennial Barn book writes that the cupola contains gears and an interesting mechanism to carry grain from one end of the barn to the other, but that it was no longer in service in 2003. Rebuilt in 1936, it stands forty…

Ottawa County – July 24, 2024
The more Barns I see, the more I am tickled by how different they are from one another. Yes, there’s are some similarities (roof, walls, etc.) but one will have a single cupola while others may have a ridgeline full of them. This one has been nicely re-roofed and it appears it’s been well-kept. 15721…

Montgomery County – June 8, 2024
This Barn has been purchased, refurbished and turned into a wedding venue (permalink). There is some additional history on this Barn at Jeff’s Art of Frozen Time site (permalink), where you can buy a print of this Barn. Opened in May 2022, the Bicentennial Barn hosts weddings and other events. Some day I’ll need to…
