    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 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. 13034 Madison Road, Middlefield; SR 528, south of US…

    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…

    Summit County – February 18, 2024

    This is a very shy Barn since it seems to always be hiding behind the phragmites on Route 8. There isn’t a way to approach from the east without trespassing, so your choice is limited to viewing from the elevated road. If I were more foolish, I might stage a breakdown there by the side…

    Medina County (Seville) – November 4, 2023

    The Medina County Barn north of Seville is sometimes visible from the northbound lanes of i71 due to the trees growing up west of this Barn. There doesn’t seem to be any obvious clue that we’re approaching this vantage point on i71 to remind me to take a picture and I’ve been missing this Barn…

    Huron County (Olena) – August 11, 2023

    The Huron Barn in Olena may be the prettiest I’ve seen so far. It may have been the day or perhaps it was the color of the sky and the light touch of clouds. Or it could be the color of the Barn against the green of the grass. Whatever the reason, this is a…

    Wayne County – August 6, 2023

    We were in the neighborhood for a near-family reunion of sorts—more of a two-generation family vacation than anything else. This is one of two Barns on US 250, one of four within a very short distance of that road. And it’s also a Barn that you can see from aerial photographs. On Rt 250 about…
