As so many barns are crumbling into oblivion with age, fantastic old barn
pictures capture these relics of the past for us to remember.
I have compiled
here a photo gallery, a collection of old 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.
A barn has a special place in a farm setting. It speaks of simple farm life in
days gone by. The old barn is a historical symbol of the rural American
landscape.
There are many types of barns. When we think
of a barn we usually think of the traditional red square-shaped barn, but barns
can be round or multi-sided
(octagonal/polygonal). 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.
Driving down a country road, as you pass a barn,
you pause to nostalgically wonder about its past. What stories could it tell of
what has happened under its own roof?
So many historical barns are
disappearing from the American landscape. Fire, collapse, and bulldozers claim
thousands of old barns every year. Some are being preserved, but the expense of
restoring an old barn is tremendous. Old barn pictures help us remember these
buildings as they once were.

gallery filled with fantastic pictures of old barns.

fence, with lovely mountain peaks in the background.
Country Fall Scene This old barn picture is the perfect depiction of the autumn season in the
country. A field of dry corn stalks, a rustic barn, a blue sky, and hills of
colorful trees make this farm a lovely place.
Timeworn Barn
This old barn picture taken at the foot of the Teton Mountain Range in Wyoming,
shows a dilapidated barn that is falling into ruin. In a few more years, it will
only be ruble, lost to memory; a bygone piece of western America.
