I was more interested in the old barn that was still standing strong and proud. It looks like it is still being used to store hay and tractors.
The old general store doesn't look so good, although I am sure if someone bought it that it could be restored to its 1920 golden days.
These buildings are way out in the woods of a former tiny village.
All the other houses and stores of this 1900 s era village have fallen down and have been buried by decades of leaves, weeds and trees. I had heard about this old store, but never found it until this day.
The center of this village was moved 6 miles south to the main roads which were easier to navigate in bad weather.
These 2 buildings are all that remain of a once thriving village that was settled in 1763.
Can you identify this old piece of equipment ?
Got a ghost town in your area?

Lots of old buildings are torn down rather than restored because of our property taxes which punish anyone who keeps an old building.
ReplyDeleteThat could be some type of hay loader but it doesn't look like the ones left around here.
Nice old barn and it looks as though someone keeps the weeds somewhat trimmed away from the General Store. No clue on what the equipment could be. Yep, we have old mining ghost towns down here in AZ! :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm...very unusual piece of equipment. It is sad that the past becomes forgotten in many areas. Maybe some "hippie" will discover it and want to recover it!
