Shenandoah National Park, Virgina, May 2004.

This was a farmstead that had been absorbed into the park in the 1950's. 'harry and i stumbled upon it on a hike during our honeymoon in 1989. 15 years later we sought it out again to see if the barn was still there, It had been painted, and still standing, a symbol of endurance, to us, i guess.

There's something about that place that draws me to it. Is it a house or barn?

It's a barn. It is an interesting place, the house is gone; there is still a spring next to the barn and signs warning of rattle-snakes!

Even a spring! It would be a great place to have a weekend away if it wasn't a national park.

Thanks - something about the little version of the picture sucked me right in. Then when I saw behind the cut - it's from Virginia. There are many old farm house/barn structures like this one in Virginia. My cousin was married in one in northern Virginia.

One of the hardest things about living out here is missing all that wonderful old historic architecture. *sigh*

Nice work.

That sounds like it was a cool place to be married. No barns west of the rockies?
