Picture of the Day for September 16, 2022

One type of barn style common in the last century was the bank barns, which are two-story structures built into a bank or hill. If a bank wasn’t available, landscaping was done to create access to drive into the top story of the barn where feed and hay was often stored. The lower level, which typically had three sides available for door access, housed the livestock. This bank barn is located on the Stonefield Historic Site.
