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:

Bacon Road, Franklin County Road 16 - Part 1

We had another beautiful spring day and I was on the road, so I decided to take a driving tour of a scenic, rural road. I turned onto Bacon Road in West Bangor, New York:

The road began as pleasant, suburban homes in a country setting:

The homes here looked to me to not be farms but just folks who loved rural life:

I stopped for a photo of this lovely patch of Daffodils in someone's lawn:

This was probably a farm house when it was built:

Even the woodlands were dotted with Daffodils:

This carport didn't strike me as unusual until I got home and looked more closely at the photo. Then I wondered how they'd gotten the car in there - and why:

The road began to look more agricultural as farm fields, barns and silos became more common:

There were lots of corn fields, with last year's stubble:

 This old barn sat right up next to the road and appeared to still be in active service, even though part of it had collapsed:

On the other side of the barn was an addition which appeared to be unused:

A bright red sugar house and bulk containers for sap. The road was becoming ever more scenic and rural, so I kept driving and snapping photos. I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
