These are just a few of the barns and other rural scenes that I have photographed since beginning this journey...

The above photo is a different angle of the barn that was posted earlier. It is located in Jessenland township along the Minnesota River Valley.

Milk cans - once the only way milk was transported from the farm.

Another common sight on farms before indoor plumbing.

This barn is located west of Arlington.

The barn in the above photo, located near Arlington, had been recently reroofed when a storm came through the area and tore off most of the roof.

Green Isle township.

Located in Dryden township, this barn photographs well.

A silo remains standing but the barn is long gone.

A barn near Gaylord that was torn down in 2007.

The old barn pictured below was built in the early 1900's and has a wood stave silo attached to the barn The current owner tells us that the only things that live in the barn anymore are cats and the occasional raccoon. The original horse stalls are still in the barn. Like many other barns of that era, a barn dance was held upon completion with a band and an open bar.
