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.

  17. 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.
