Barn Charm Tuesday


On April 5, 1856, Booker T. Washington was born a slave on the 207-acre farm of James Burroughs. After the Civil War, Washington became founder and first principal of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial School.

This barn is located at the Booker T Washington National Park in Hardy, Va.

    I like the shape of the roof line on your Barn Charm shot this week. A fine old structure located on a notable place. Well done.

    Love the history...and the shape of that barn! I also love the fact that a wooden barn is being maintained for posterity to see.

    This is a wonderful picture of a very interesting -- and charming -- barn. I like the somber color of the photo -- it fits the time and place of the barn. Thanks for the history.

    What a cool roof line...wonder if that is ON PURPOSE? Or, due to age.

    I always wonder if he became a teacher because he was inspired by his name?
