Barn Charm - 1850s Americana

Last week, my family and I were in the Urbandale, IA area for Memorial Day weekend. While we were there, we went to Living History Farms (as it seems that's now our new Memorial Day Weekend tradition).

Living History Farms is a great "living museum" of what life was like in midwestern America in "the olden days." (I've posted about Living History Farms before, so when you have the time, check out my other LHF posts. You can either click the label entitled "Living History Farms" beneath this post, or go to the upper left of the page and search for "Living History Farms.")

Anyway, while we were there, I was able to take some fun Instagram photos of barns as they would have been during various times in American history.

This barn photo that I'm sharing this week is a typical rustic barn from the 1850s time period.

(You can click on the photo to see a somewhat larger view of it.)
