Barn Charm

This barn photo was taken by my husband on our road trip yesterday:

He also caught a shot of this barn-shaped museum as we were speeding past tiny Froelich, Iowa, which is famous for being where John Froelich invented the gasoline-powered farm tractor in 1892.  It later became the world-famous and well-known John Deere tractor.

Madge, we have never stopped at the Froelich Museum...it seems we're always headed somewhere else when we go by it. We should stop there sometime.

Great barn--and history lesson. Interesting fact. Yay for a hubby who knows how to use a camera!
