Detail pic of a lovely old barn I found today.





Here's the rest of the barn.



I visited a small, old cemetery on a tiny back road, and was touched to find it very well tended, with flowers (artificial, but clearly new) on every grave.

The time of year makes the barn especially lovely--all the delicate new leaves like lace around it.

And wow, that gravestone is from the 1700s!

Yes, I am reading right now that the earliest burial there was 1743. The pic is of the grave of one of the eight Revolutionary War soldiers buried there.

I would love to prowl that cemetery; the oldest POSSIBLE thing I can find in my area is 1845, and realistically 1860.

These are some great photos.

That barn looks as though it could use some of Bob Vila's expertise, though. Lol

I couldn't quite read all of the inscription of the tombstone. Do you know what all it says?

Oh, that's not too hard ...

In Memory of William Nicoll son of Francis & Margaret Nicoll who died Sep 2nd 1785 in the 19th year of his age.
