Historic Carver County Barn

I spent the weekend with my daughter near the Twin Cities.  There are a lot of different barns in the area.  I have driven by these old barns many times but they are on a busy highway so I am never able to stop to take pictures. This time I drove off on the side road and got these pictures.

This next old barn was first built on this same property by a Swedish immigrant in 1855.    The Carver County Historical  requested and received a grant to restore the barn to it original condition.  You can see that there is scaffolding on the one side and ladders on the other.  There is a barn quilt on the side that I don't remember seeing before.

The pictures aren't the best as it was late in the day and the sky was cloudy.

Thanks for stopping by.  I always appreciated your comments.

Until next time
