Ruby Tuesday Too - Ruby Barn and Homestead

For this installment of Ruby Tuesday Too, our favorite color is on the object to our right periphery to find the classic barn. This is the home of the Shelton History Center (CT), the Brownson House built in 1822 and was moved to its present location in 1971. Our ruby is the Wilson Barn, built in 1860, the only building sitting where it was originally. What you don't see are the period artifacts inside the barn in a permanent exhibit inside. A nice mid-winter look at days past...

  1. Impressive buildings. Love the shutters on the windows and the neat sheltered area round the main entrance door.

  3. The image speaks volumes about our past. There was a time when the barn was the largest structure on the property because it housed almost everything to sustain life in the house. Thanks for sharing.

  4. It's amazing that such old buildings have been given that great care.
