Really nice pictures!!!
Homesick
I’m from the Berkshires and REALLY miss New England in the Autumn most!
Northern Ireland is wonderful, but truly
There’s no place like HOME!!!
(and my red shoes won’t work…)
I grew up in Ct. But live in Northern New Hampshire up in the mountains I love new England I could never leave
These photos have made my morning. Thank you.
I love these pictures, I grew up in rural areas in Canada and always loved the autumn scenery, now I live in a land of ice and snow where no trees grow. I could stare at these pictures for a long time, just soaking them in!
Why is Maine ALWAYS left out of things like this? Do you think there are no barns in Maine? I can picture several starting right in Eliot and moving up thru the state.
I’ve lived in the beautiful Hudson Valley my entire life but it is my trips to New England that have sustained me physically and spiritually. My ancestors came over on the Mayflower, my soul finds respite in ME, my eyes feast on the beauty of VT and NH and CT is a neighbor that I can rely on for a quick visit. I feel most blessed to call New England home and Yankee Magazine keeps me connected when the physical being is not possible c

I was born in Pittsfield, Berkshire County. Lived in Massachusetts most of my life;Salem Village (Danvers), Acton and Lynnfield. My entire family except for my baby sister were Massachusetts born. I currently live in the Chicago suburb of Glen Ellyn. I would love to move back home to New England. Alas my siblings are here and all I have left.There is nothing like the air, feel the beauty in its entirety of New England. My beloved Mother always felt sad when she was taken away from New England. My beloved Dad’s work kept us moving back and forth between Massachusetts and Illinois. My heart, my soul, my spirit will always be in New England. It will always be my home
Patty from Glen Ellyn, You didn’t give your age, but I would say if N.E. tugs at your heartstrings, GO, your siblings can visit you and vice versa. Life is too short not to live where you are drawn.
I like houses,I LOVE barns.
Growing up in Worcester, MA, we cherished our visits to our grandparents farm in Leominster. We played hide & seek in Grandpa’s barn (yes, sometimes in the grain barrels). Jumping from the hayloft to the ground was great fun. We even got to see kittens being born up in the hayloft. Being little kids, we didn’t know what was going on…only that ‘Fluffy’ was in pain, so we stayed with her and petted her. Suddenly, tiny kittens were born. Quite an exciting experience. The house is still there (built in the 1800s, but the rest of the farm is a subdivision. Sad, but so many cherished memories.
The barn at Liberty Farm, Rochester, Vt. is unique – pictured of an old Vermont Life calendar.
I am now in tears and so so homesick. The barns are so beautiful as is all of New England….
right there with ya…
I miss the ones that are attached to the house – they are so interesting
Our beautiful New England states…love ALL the barn photos. Makes me want to jump in the car and head north.
Barb, the attached barns are still around. Just saw 6 of them within a mile on the same road in southeastern Vermont yesterday. Absolutely stunning!
I agree totally. Don’t wait until its too late. Where you are now it’s you being with them. Move back to the place you love and let it be their turn to be with you. Life is too short for regrets.
I am reminded of the old expression “Big house, middle house, backhouse, barn”. Lots of folks called the middle house “the shed”. My grandparents had a place like that in Topsham, Maine.
I would like to see a story about the Tobacco barns particular to the Connecticut River Valley. They have unique side flaps on the long side that are opened to dry the shade tobacco hanging inside. I remember many barns when I was s child growing up in CT in the 1960s and 1970s. Many were torn down in the following decades to make way for development.
The first photo in the Monadnock Region is about 1-1.2 miles from us in Hancock NH. It is beautiful and well taken care of and it sits next to a pond. <3
Any info on the whit Barn, circa 1768, of Newport, NH
