Barnstorming

Chuck and I recently took a few days to visit Gettysburg and Antietam. He being a civil war buff and me always on the look out for something new to photograph. As we drove the back roads of Pennsylvania, up and down through the bucolic farms and pasturelands, we passed many beautiful barns. It wasn't until passing this Mail Pouch sign painted on an old barn that I hollered.. STOP.

After returning home and doing some research on the Mail Pouch barns, I realized I should have also looked for the initials of the painter and the date the barn was painted (or repainted, in many cases). We'll be heading to Ohio and Michigan soon. Another opportunity to capture more nostalgia. Next time I'll be more assiduous.
