Converse Road - Part 1

I set off, with the dogs in the car, for an autumn drive down Converse Road in the tiny settlement of Fort Jackson, New York. I crossed the bridge over the east branch of the St. Regis River, putting me in Fort Jackson. The black and white goats in the field by the river belonged to an Amish family:

At the end of the bridge was this large yellow house and barn. It's been being remodeled for years, but this time I noticed a "For Sale" sign, so I looked it up online. It has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, four acres and a barn. It still needs work, but they're only asking $46,900. You can see the listing here:

This old church has been abandoned for many years, but the signs out front indicated that it has been sold and is functioning as a church once again:

As I proceeded along Converse Road, I stopped for a photo of this old farm house:

Most of the scenery along Converse Road was woodlands, and particularly lovely this time of year:

An old, abandoned house:

An active farm. I sometimes see Holstein calves in their fields:

More autumn color:

This little cabin appears to be a year 'round home, and in a beautiful setting:

And right next door to the cabin is this old home with its front wall totally gone:

I continued on my way and stopped when I saw this attractive house for sale. I looked it up online when I got home and learned that it has one bathroom and 3.8 acres. There was no mention of how many bedrooms, but the listing's photos seem to show three. It is listed for $74,900 and the link is here:

I stopped again at this long, narrow hay field bordered by colorful trees. It's picture perfect every October. I'll post more of Converse Road tomorrow:
