A farm, an old Quaker Meeting House, and fall

 This is the farm showing the barns and the sales building which I featured last week here.

 Up the lane from the Doudna Fruit Farm is the old Quaker meeting house.  The Doudna family is a prominent local Quaker family. This meeting house is no longer used.  The Quakers meet at a building on the Friends Olney School campus--a Quaker boarding high school about 3 minutes from our  house.  (An aside to this is that the previous owners of our farm house met while attending Olney).  The meeting house shown is a twenty minute drive from town deep into the countryside on a narrow, winding road.

The outhouses. Possibly his and hers. I wonder why one is painted and maintained and the other is not?

I hope you all have a great week!

old covered bridge, cabin, church, and school at fairgrounds

Last summer a friend took me on a 'tour' of interesting places in Noble County, Ohio.  The first place we went was the Noble County Fairgrounds.  Clustered together at one end of the fair grounds are a covered bridge, an original cabin with its summer kitchen and outhouse, a church, and a school.  All are well maintained.  Here are photos of them.

 I forget when the cabin was built.  I think it was removed to this spot  --  at least some of the buildings were.

Covered bridge --in the background you can see two of the animal barns.  Right now the fair is going on, so those buildings are packed as are the grounds.
