Part 2 - Brasher Center, New York

As I continued my driving tour of Brasher Center, I was impressed with this riverside home, old style split rail fence and daisies:

A smaller home with a couple of nice outbuildings:

A modern ranch with a hedge:

A modern, suburban style home:

A motorcycle for sale and an old farm wagon filled with flowers:

A cute cottage beneath giant old trees:

A very unusually shaped house:

Another large home which I'll bet was once a farm house:

A red steel roof like mine:

Nice outbuildings:

Brasher Center had a meat packing plant (yesterday's post) and an auction house, though the photos of the latter didn't come out well. I really liked the picturesque homes best anyway:

An extensive garden and two rustic buildings. My driving tour of Brasher Center had come to an end and I had to get home, where my dogs were waiting:

Part 1 - Brasher Center, New York

I was on my way home from Massena when I noticed Brasher Center Road and, of course, had to go explore the settlement of Brasher Center. I drove through a section of Brasher State Forest and arrived at a nice little rural community. That big, beige building behind the sign was a meat packing plant called Adirondack Smoked Meats, a local employer and founded to meet the needs of farmers and hunters in the area:

There were old farm houses:

Lots of trees and wildflowers:

This home and its purple, yellow and blue outbuildings were so colorful that they caught my eye immediately:

A nice porch for sitting outdoors on lovely afternoons:

Hay wagons, barn and hay bales:

More hay bales and outbuildings:

This big, rambling house sat right up close to the road:

A chainsaw bear outside the door:

An old, abandoned home:

An American flag and lots of stuff:

A picturesque farm. But there was more to see in Brasher Center and I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
