Barn Door.
A picture of the barn door I snapped while visiting Harmony Hall Plantation. My wife had to work, so I took a couple of cameras and spent over an hour at the park. The sign says As you enter the gate at Harmony Hall, the first building you see on the right is a log barn. This barn was built by Mr John Hurt sometime in the 1800's. It was used to store corn and other farm products. To help keep food for the mules and horses, the blades of leaves were pulled from corn in the summer and made into bundles. This was known as fodder. These bundles were hung on the corn stalk and left to dry. After drying it was stored in the barn to be fed to the livestock later. The barn was a gift from the Butler family and was set up for use about 1990.
