Bacon Road, Franklin County Road 16 - Part 2

I was driving rural, scenic Bacon Road in West Bangor, New York (see Part 1, yesterday's post). Historic barns and farm houses were everywhere:

And there were plenty of corn and hay fields:

Old outbuildings, silos, snowmobile and pickup truck:

A historic barn, apparently built in sections over the years:

A classic farm house, with a small model of a Holstein cow on the front lawn:

A red farm house beneath a tree which was just beginning to leaf out:

More corn stubble, evidence of last year's crop:

A major farm with multiple barns, bins and silos:

I'd imagine this was where much of the corn grown in the surrounding fields was dried and stored:

This elaborate farm appeared to be very large and much of the family which lived there was outside, mending fences alongside the road:

I imagined this farm house as a place to return to for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner:

The last photo I took on Bacon Road was of this old farm house, laid out in the linear, New England manner. That was the end of my driving tour, so I put my camera away and headed for home:
