Each fall in SE Iowa a Barn tour is taken by bus. Rather a large draw. I can think of more barns in the same area that are gone than standing in just 50 or so years. The three I grew up playing in only one is left. It's a basement style for loose hay and milking area. Lean to on one side for the horses. The harness rotted on the pegs. Steel wheel B's in 42 replaced the horses. The basement timbers are black walnut 12" by 12" supports. The upper structure is native oak timbers broad axed marked and tongue and groved pinned joints. Filled the hay area with the 80 pd round bales to the trolley track each summer. Made for loose hay. Never had any structure problems. Went through many floods. The other barn is gone, but was a drive through for loose hay. A loft on each side of the drive. More damgerous to play in. Recall one broken arm falling out of the loft area. Not mine. Was the city kid.
