The Old Columbus Barn


The Old Columbus Barn 
Oil on Canvas, 18"x24"

Here is the old Columbus Barn.  It used to be right at the bridge near the Yellowstone River in Columbus.  It stood in this spot for more than 50 years - which I know of.  It withstood floods, windstorms and severe winters. A few years ago people were allowed to take some of its old barn wood.  This it didn't handle well.  It started to crumple.  Eventually, it settled to the ground and its remains were burnt.  What a pity to see the old landmark replaced by some RV's, a picnic table and a burn barrel in the summers.
