Before we moved to these parts, I
always thought of tobacco as a crop grown in the southern United States. Therefore, it was a surprise to me when I
found out that the long narrow windowless barns that are seen near Bradley (Hartford, Connecticut) Airport are tobacco barns.
Apparently, there are quite a few farms in the Connecticut River Valley that
grow and dry tobacco that is used in cigar wrapping.
I have been on the lookout for a
good one to photograph for some time now.
And yesterday on our way home from a holiday cook out, Greg and I hit
the jackpot. Here are some pictures of
this very interesting barn we found near Northampton, Massachusetts. Believe me, I am no fan of tobacco and
tobacco related products, but I find these barns quite beautiful and endlessly
fascinating.

i like the venting and the stark black, white and gray tones of the wood!
I have never seen a tobacco barn in use like this. Such a treat to see it hanging there to dry. Of your series the third shot has to be my favorite. Love the 1948. Guess that was the year it was built. A super post. genie
What great meant to measure time and life. Like them much ! Thank you for this journey through time.
Please have a good Tuesday.
Gorgeous textures!

beautiful! i think tobacco barns are so neat! there's quite a lot of them here in va!
1st of all, I love it when they include the date on these ol barns & 2nd, I'm so glad you got pics of it all opened up like that so we can see the inside! LOVE the barn doors!
I'm not a fan of tobacco products, either, esp since I quit smoking almost 2 years ago, but the barns really are very interesting & oh so beautiful! =)
Thanks a million for joining, Barbara
Wow! I'd say you hit the jackpot! That's a gorgeous barn! I assume that's the year painted on it. If so, it's in great shape!

I love the textures and colours on this wood!
nice shots barbara but isnt that kinda scary every night?
wow, a tobacco barn! amazing!
Barbara, I have seen similar barns as we've travelled through Lancaster County, PA. And, while we now live on the VA eastern shore we have never seen any tobacco barns here.
love this....like soft cloth hanging out to dry. I wonder can you stitch on it....
