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…

Geauga County – April 26, 2024
This is a beautiful Barn, well situated. Where to view and visit: 13034 Madison Road, south of US 322 and north of Middlefield. There is a private drive leading from Madison Road to the Barn, but be careful to not block the owners’ traffic into and out of their property (41.51564, -81.05171). Taken April 26,…

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 – 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…

Delaware County – November 4, 2023
One of three Barns I was able to photograph today on a day-trip to Columbus with a friend (who insisted on driving, giving me the opportunity to snap a few photos). Where to view and visit: 6844 Bale Kenyon Road, Lewis Center (40.17054, -82.96183)There is a parking lot at the church across the street that…

Ashland County – November 4, 2023
I was on my way to Columbus for the day with a friend (who was driving) and was able to photograph this Barn both going down (SB) and coming back (NB). We spent the day at The Ohio Pen Show since we’re both fountain pen aficionados (in my case, the more enthusiastic kind than the…

Lorain County – August 13, 2023
This Barn was re-sided and not re-painted, but it still looks pretty good. I was headed back home from being on Staff at a Woodbadge course (Boy Scouts) function this weekend and decided to visit a few Barns. There’s a wide place to stop just in front of this Barn and I took it. Getting…
