Town Line Road

This is Part 3 of my driving tour. I'd come to the end of Alburg Road and turned right onto Town Line Road, where I stopped to snap a picture of this sugar house and the small outbuilding behind it. Maple syrup is big business here in the north country:

I've passed this small house and barn before, and it always looks uninhabited. If so, it's a shame because it looks to be a well built home in a beautiful location. I also sometimes wonder if it might be an Amish school house:

This farm house had a lovely wrap-around porch and was nearly hidden behind the trees:

A very old house, abandoned long ago:

And one of the most beautiful barns I've seen:

As I passed by the elaborate barn, I noticed a small building which looked like it once was a farm stand but is now a shed for tools and kids' bicycles:

A herd of beef cows watched me go by:

Beautiful, well kept barns and red cattle:

A traditional red barn with a silo and hay bales:

They apparently used small hay bales as well as the big round bales, judging by the elevator into the hay loft:

I was stopped by these bossy turkeys in the road, but I didn't need to get pushy because I could see the road dead-ended just ahead. Instead, I turned left onto Snell Road - but I'll post those photos tomorrow:

Town Line Road In Malone, New York

I was on my way home from Malone and decided to turn onto Town Line Road, headed east, to view the old farms there. This giant old barn appeared to have once had an apartment in it:

A huge farm with multiple silos, barns and grain bins:

An old shed, falling into disrepair, which I suspected was once a horse barn:

A dairy farm with an Amish buggy out front. I believe the buggy was just for decoration:

The sign on the front of the barn said "Hutchins," and I presume it was a dairy farm:

A brick farm house, the only one I photographed that day. Later, I wished I'd taken pictures of more homes, but I'll have other chances:

Farm equipment, double silos and an old dairy barn:

Another Amish buggy, also possibly just for decoration:

This old barn was being renovated:

A beautiful scene with what appeared to be horse fences:

An old silo, whose barn must have collapsed or burned long ago:

Huge quantities of baleage, a sign that some dairy cows will eat well this winter. I intended to continue on Town Line Road to see more, but the road ended at the highway and I decided to head for home:
