Barns have a special function in the farm setting. A barn is the place where
farm animals were kept warm and safe; a dry place for crops to be stored for
those long winter months. Fantastic barn pictures timelessly capture these
symbols of rural America.
I have compiled here a photo gallery, a collection of country barn photos for
all of us to enjoy. Fantastic pictures capture a magical moments in time, and
that's what I want to share with you.
The barn is a farm building traditionally used for the storage and processing
of grain and hay. It houses the farm equipment and in more recent times, the
tractors.
Barns are home to the farm animals.
Horses in their stalls, cows eating hay, kittens in the straw, or mice scurrying
around finding grain; they all are sheltered by the farm barn. The baby farm
animals find the barn to be a place of safety from the weather and dangers of
unfriendly animals.
An old barn has a historical place in
the rural American landscape. Every barn has a unique story. Sadly, many old barns are falling into
disrepair and crumbling with age.
There are many types of barns. When we think of a barn we usually think of
the traditional square-shaped red barn, but barns can be round or multi-sided
(octagonal/polygonal). The round barn is
a unusual barn design that is found in many parts of the United States. They can
also be painted a variety of colors such as: red, white, green, black, or not
painted at all. Usually barns are built of wood, but some old barns are actually
constructed of stone or brick.
A red barn is a symbol of happy childhood memories for many people. Playing in
the hayloft, milking the cows, the joy of growing up on the farm remains bright
through the years. Pictures of barns bring back so many fond recollections.

barn pictures.
