Old Market Road - Part 1

I turned north off of U.S. Route 11 onto Old Market Road in the town of Stockholm, NY near where Rt 11 crosses the St. Regis River. The first place I came to was the St. Regis Campground, on the banks of the river. Of course it was closed for the winter:

Then I passed this unusual house at the top of a rise:

As Old Market Road crossed Pickle Street, I passed this interesting A-Frame, with its balcony and giant sized chainsaw bear:

I soon realized that Old Market Road, while rural, was more woodsy than agricultural, and I passed through lots of snowy woodlands to prove it:

Many of the houses were suburban style, but tucked back into the woods and were no doubt owned by people who loved living in nature:

This old barn appeared unused and deteriorating. I'd love to know its history:

The house which went with the barn in the above photo. You can see the old, square wooden silo on the right of the barn in both this and the above photos:

A couple of small outbuildings, with both farm fields and forest in the background:

A traditional old farm house, which apparently still used its fireplace:

A tractor and other farm equipment, parked in the snow by a small outbuilding:

Lots of firewood:

A beautiful but seemingly unused barn set back in a snowy field, with only an animal's tracks to indicate anyone had been near it recently. But there was still more to see on Old Market Road, and I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
