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. Where to view: south-bound State Route 11, before the State Route 307 (Dorset Road) exit, at 41.70703, -80.71027 — there is a wide spot at the exit ramp for Dorset Road (Ohio 307) where…

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. Where to view and visit: 6844 Bale Kenyon Road, Lewis Center (40.17054, -82.96183)There is a parking lot at the church…

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…

Cuyahoga County – November 23, 2009
The Cuyahoga County Bicentennial Barn is in the middle of a Cleveland suburb. My youngest son and I drove out here this morning to “capture it”. He says he doesn’t want to visit each and every one in Ohio (there are 88 counties), but we’ll get the ones that don’t require too much travel out…
