Rural And Scenic Southville, New York

I left Converse and passed into Southville, also along Route 11B. The first thing I noticed was this Amish farm:

This farm had many outbuildings and barns. It looked as if they sold rough cut lumber in the summertime, and had religious messages on signs facing the highway:

Southville had modern homes:

And lots of big trees. In fact, the Southville State Forest was nearby:

I was especially enamored of this old barn all by itself up on a snowy hill and surrounded by trees. I'd have loved to have a look inside:

This rural home and, apparently, business was situated comfortably beneath Red Pines:

A more modern home with what looked to be Spruce out front:

And speaking of trees, I passed this sawmill in Southville:

 The barn was filled with neatly stacked lumber. There was lots of trucks and power equipment in operation, so I could tell it wasn't Amish:

 I passed by the Southville Cemetery, probably a very historic place. I didn't get out and look, though. Perhaps I'll do so in nicer weather:

I guessed that this friendly home marked the end of Southville, but I had other places yet to see. Tomorrow I'll post about the continuation of my driving tour:
