Pre-Revolutionary War Farmhouse

[Mat in MA]

I took my trusty old Ultra GTA500 to an old farm site. This farmhouse was taken down board by board and the lumber recycled for reuse.

It is amazing when you think of all the history behind something like this. I try to envision the family who lived there and actually touched these objects. It just boggles the mind!

Hey, that really a nice find.
My allergies have been playing havoc with me
the last several weeks so I havn't been out for awhile.
Hope you keep finding that good stuff.
