I've always like to look at old stuff and have always been astonished at what people could do with what they had back years ago. We went to the Museum of Appalachia near Norris,TN last year and really enjoyed the visit. They have about anything you can imagine as far as old-time stuff.

Do you remember having and/or making the hay stacks? Seems like I remember us having them when I was very, very young but don't know if that is a figment of my imagination or not. I do remember Fred making the fodder shocks for sure. He used to raise corn out in front of our house sometimes...I don't know if that was before E. Chumley bought it or what.
Jane and I have always said that could we have ever got over there then then last place we would want to go visit was 'Disney'.. I think we have found here the perfect place to visit.. I loved the humour of 'John's John' I foolowed the link andspent a while there wondering why I was born over here in 1958 when I would have felt more in tune with such a place in 1858. I'm sure you know what I mean Neal.. I'm proud of my own roots but it is still nice to think how things could have been.
I am wanting to go back down there the next time I am there...I could spend a couple days there I think and not be bored at all.
Nice shots.
BTW I grew up with long drops and can claim to have used them often. In the army we had what were called "thunder boxes". These were portable field toilet that could accommodate 4 people in a row - they were quiet gross :)
I have enjoyed browsing through your site - you have some great posts
The hay stacks remind me of Little House on the Prarie. In one of the books Laura and Pa built hay stacks.
I hated outhouses. I'm so glad for the nice bathrooms we have today. My sister had one for years. Her husband kept it whitewashed and they called it "the white house".
The barn is beautiful!
