The Gray-Campbell Farmstead is comprised of various elements from approximately the same time period. The home belonged to John Polk Campbell, the nephew of the founder of Springfield. It was last used as a home in the 1950's, and was re-discovered in the 1980's during road construction. It was moved to Nathaneal Greene Park, and together with two crib barns, the family cemetery, a log granary, and a detached log kitchen now give a look into early days in Springfield. Costumed guides tell the history of the farmstead. These photos are of the barn.

Sounds like a great living museum with the costumed guides and all. The shot at the top looks a tad too sharpened on the trees, but otherwise is really cool. It's an interesting building. I LOVE the shot on the bottom with the lock - very nice!
I love the way you set the top shot up so that you see the barn and the log cabin. It makes the farm look even older with out the other house in the shot. Don't think I would have ever thought of this one.
For the other readers out there Elaine and I frequently take pictures at this same park. It is always interesting to see each others pictures.
I like the composition with the tree branch framing the roof line.
