What an interesting Gaelic story. Let's hope the Masonry woodshed doesn't run out on you. Cool photo from the barn loft. I bet that barn could tell a lot of stories from its hay day back when. There is just something special about a barn, anyway to me there is, must be all the memories from my childhood.

Sort:  

It's roughly 175 years old and is composed of 3 barns:

  1. the original barn of 5 bents
  2. a barn of 1 bent moved when Interstate 91 was built in the 1960's
  3. 1 bent same as above.

It's a tobacco shed technically. So most it's seen is tobacco workers or people planting corn, until we bought in in 1983. It was Consolidated Cigar Co #98.

The barn has some serious history, love it!
