Rustic New England Barns – Wordless Wednesday

Local Charm
I guess you could say I’m on a roll taking photos of local history.
I did a post earlier this summer and was waxing nostalgic about how I used to take my kids to camp along a country road when they were younger. The country barns are gone, and senior citizen condos were built where the barns once stood.
So I’ve set out to photograph some of the still-standing structures left in the surrounding Connecticut towns near me before they’re gone. It reminds me of the old Joni Mitchell song “Big Yellow Taxi” where she sings “you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.”

It’s nice that you are taking time to record some local history. I love doing that too with Stone Houses.

It’s so true. I’ve been taking pictures of structures like that when we go back home as well. I’m sad I never got one of the historic covered bridge. It was burned to the ground by arson this past Spring. So much history just gone.

I’m thinking that Pennsylvania and Connecticut look very similar. Happy WW!

I love the picture. I am trying to get some pictures of old barns so that when I redo my living room I can put them it in. Thank goodness for uprinting!

what a great piece of history!

I adore old buildings; especially barns!
I have often thought that making an old barn
into a home would be fun.
Thanks, Cindi
