People of Summers County have been essential to the success of the project..  They are friendly, thoughtful and interested in preserving this part of the history of the county.  I will change these photos from time to time as there are many I am happy to share.  If you want to know more about questions posed or
what the Barn Lady is writing about........well, I guess you will have to read the book.

                   Glenna Shumate  was a delight to visit. She shared  stories about her barn and an interesting
                   one about  a relative.  Sadly,  Glenna passed away in the Summer of 2011. Her stories and a 
                   photograph of her barn have been preserved in the book.  She loved her animals and I was
                   happy that I had this one to share with you.
                   
                     

                                                   Which is oldest - Mr. Ratcliffe's barn or his truck?

                            You might find this man on any road in the county - any of the 756 miles, except 
                             perhaps the 200 or so that are not maintained.  The Barn Lady has traveled them
                             all - some many times over. 

                  John and Pricella Ward are newcomers to the county [ "newcomer" in this case means:
                 "wasn't born Here"]  We had a nice visit and took lots of pictures (including this one) but sadly we       
                  learned from a previous owner that the barn was built after 1950 and therefore did not qualify for 
                   the book.
