You Will Fall In Love With These 20 Old Beautiful Barns In Ohio

From quilt barns to bicentennial barns, Ohio has them in abundance—but they’re slowly (and sadly) disappearing. Over the years Ohio has steadily developed a collection of beautiful, historic barns. You can find most of them by exploring the countryside and driving back roads—and you should do so while they’re still here.
