Mail Pouch barn.

The pin on the map is centered on the farm site in the photo above. This site is clearly shown on Ohio Dept of Transportation aerial photo ODOT # 2334-1-5, dated Aug. 29, 1962. A later photo ODOT # 10641-54103-87, dated Mar. 1, 1988 shows that by that date the farm house on the site had been razed and removed and the site was beginning to be overgrown. Both photos show the two buildings to the southwest of the map pin and these buildings still remain and were used to confirm the location of the farmsite in the photo above. The Mail Pouch barn is ID'd as MPB 35-4-11 on the Mail Pouch Barnstormer's website. Thanks to mixdenny for alerting me to this barn.
