Summit County – July 4, 2023
Our fourth and final Barn this Independence Day was happenstance on the way home. There doesn’t appear to be any safe way to stop and compose a good photo of this Barn—my wife snagged this through the passenger window on the way by. I don’t exactly know why, but I have a strange feeling this…

Trumbull County – July 4, 2023
We were on a Bicentennial Barn tour this Independence Day and managed to visit four. How this one is situated was a surprise to me since these Barns are usually out in the open and more visible and less concealed. Of course, many of the trees in front of this Barn are small and may…

Columbiana County – July 4, 2023
We were on a tour of Barns this Independence Day and found four. There was a family gathering of some sort at the neighboring farmhouse and we didn’t stop long to compose a formal picture for fear of disturbing them.

Portage County – July 4, 2023
We visited four Barns today. Packed up the family and went Barn hunting. Parking was easy here—there’s a big wide space in front of the Barn. That’s where we found this Killdeer, distracting us with the “broken wing” maneuver, hoping to draw us away from its nest. Which wasn’t easy to see, but we did…

Ashtabula County – February 11, 2023
I was coming home from a hunting trip when I did some U-turns to get into position to take this picture. This Barn can be found at 41.70703, -80.71027, near 1648 Overly Road; west of State Route 11 If you’re traveling south-bound on State Route 11, there is a wide spot at the exit ramp…

Seneca County – August 14, 2022
This barn was a serendipitous find—I wasn’t out looking for it. I was driving between Cleveland and Findley to visit my daughter in grad school and saw this faded barn. It has the right look to be a Bicentennial Barn. Had it been my job in the late 1990s, it was the barn I would…

Delaware County – April 22, 2022
This Barn has eluded me for some time—I’ve seen it from the highway (i71), but haven’t yet been able to safely take a photo. This time past, I wasn’t driving and here are the results. The Barn can be found at 40.17054° N, 82.96183° W, near 6844 Bale Kenyon Road, Lewis Center, Ohio. It is…

Geauga County – September 6, 2010
The Geauga County Bicentennial Barn is in the middle of rolling, fertile northeast Ohio farmland. We had taken in the Great Geauga County Fair and thought we’d take a detour home to see this Bicentennial Barn. The barn is on the west side of the road (Madison Road) and faces east, so an afternoon photo…

Lake County – November 25, 2009
The Lake County Bicentennial Barn is in the middle of homes and businesses not very far from Lake Erie. We planned this barn around a trip to Willoughby Brewing Company for lunch with Mr. Lee who lives in the area and accompanied us to the barn. The round trip total is approximately fifty miles. The…

Summit County – November 24, 2009
We were already planning a visit to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park to pick up our Thanksgiving turkey at Goatfeathers Point Farm and do a bit of shopping at the Appalachian Outfitters Peninsula store, so this was fairly “close” for us (approximately sixty miles, round-trip). The painted side of the barn is visible from Route…
