Huron County – 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. Where to view and…

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. 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…
