I was looking at your website and I found a picture
of my parents barn. I live in PA, their barn is MPB
38-05-09. I am trying to find a way to sell their barn
for them, it is in need of repair and they don't have
the time and money to repair it. So I am going to try
to find someone to buy it, hopefully tear it down and
rebuild it elsewhere. Anyone interested or if you know
soneone who may be interested in a Mail Pouch Barn,
please contact me.

You have created a wonderful web site. The pictures
are beautiful. I used your information to plan a
Covered Bridge trip north from Marietta on Rt. 26 in
Washington County and into Monroe County for our Sr.
Church Group. We visited 5 of the bridges.

This is a Great website, I love your photos of
barns, especially the round barn in Clark County,
Ohio. I sent you a photo of my parents' barn near
Enon, Ohio. In 1996 I convinced my father to paint
Dole 1996 on his barn, then Taft in 1998, and in 2000
it was painted with Enon's official Sesquicentennial
logo.

Love this web site! Have been all over the internet
trying to find pictures like these and just recently
ran across your site. My great Grandfather chewed on
Mail pouch tobacco everyday when he worked his garden
and lived to be 92 years old. It is a very fond memory
of him and I'm always looking to find new pictures for
memories sake. Your site is wonderful, please keep up
the great work you do here and I'll definetly check
back often.

We found this website from a float decorated to
represent the Bicen. Ohio sign in the Pemberville,
Ohio parade. The back of the float was decorated and
included this website. I should have taken a picture -
it might have been something for your website! We
can't remember who or what group did it - except it
was in the Pemberville, Ohio parade this past
Saturday!
I hope we can see all the Bicen. barns! It makes
traveling Ohio fun when we spot them. And looking more
at the website, we will have more to look for and
appreciate in this great state!

Hi Mike et al,
Just completing a weeklong trip through WV, OH, and
PA. Passed a bunch of MPBs and photographed a few of
them. I'm surprised to see some of them are not posted
here yet. When I get home, I'll figure out which you
don't have and send them along for posting.
BTW, although we live in the same area, I am no
relation to William Ashley Cooper. I feel like my
exclusive claim to finding Eastern PA barns is gone
now, and I'll have to work more diligently in finding
them. Love the new features on the site, especially

What beautiful work! Your wife has been a good
influence. I wish that you would concentrate on
Lighthouses. There are a whole bunch in NC. In fact
your current work is getting boring. Barns & Cover
Bridge's are not very interesting. Barns are like a
pretty girl - If you seen one you've seen em all. I
will make you a deal. If you come to NC and
concentrate on Lighthouses - we will give a place to
stay. One condition - you bring your hot wife(TT),
monopoly board, risk, & pizza. Let me know what
you think?

Webmaster comments: - Personally, I still like
looking at pretty girls Porter, you must be a bit
older than me! Plan on October 18 & 19. I'll bring
Nanc and Monopoly - you buy the pizza.

Hi again,
I got kicked out of the barn before I could get my
e-mail affress and personal website typed in. On my
main webpage you can find and icon to click on called,
"Mansions, Gardens, and Mail Pouch Barns." This will
get you to pages that explore my interests in all
three items listed. Just click on the Mail Pouch photo
to get to my gallery of Eastern Pennsylvania Barns
including the Layton, NJ country store sign.

It's great to find your site and especially find
the Mail Pouch listings that you,ve posted so far.
Some of the barns in eastern Pennsylvania were known
to me and others are a great resource to go and
photograph. That's just what my friend Brian Beltz and
I did. He got me into the Mail Pouch enthusiam while
on some of our road trips doing rollercoasters and
amusement parks. Since I had the computer and began
researching Mail Pouch info from last summer I was
able to expand much knowledge and lore about the Mail
Pouch mistique. I'll send you some new found info from
our area and update on some others.
thanks again for putting a great posting place for
Mail Pouch Barn locations. Hope I can add locations if
and when I find them.

I'm delighted to see the beautiful photos of some
of Ohio' barns. When I lived in Ohio(total of 18
yrs)and I always enjoyed driving through farm country
and noticing the differences and beauty of the Ohio
barns. Once I took an art course at Wright State w/
Ray Must and I wanted to make etchings of some of the
Ohio barns. Since this was the first etching course I
had ever taken, Ray advised me not to do it since it
was he thought a graduate project.
Thank you for making this web page, El summers

You have some fantastic Photos and and the maps are
a nice touch too ! I was surprised to see some of your
photos...1 of them I had painted a mural of many years
ago. The Glad Creek Mill was a favorite of an elder
couple I know and they asked me to paint it on thier
wall about 18 years ago. Up until now, I never knew
the name of the old mill. Thank You !!! You can view
an old photo of the mural at my web site (
http://www.ricksart.net/Sawmill.html ) if you'd
like.
Thanks for sharing all of your photos. I've added a
couple links to your site on my site.

i just found your page it is great, i was looking
at your photos and i am impressed. i have been taking
pictures of barns for almost 30 years now and as i
looked at yours i realized that i didn't see any
duplicates of the ones i had. if i ever figure out how
to enter and send pictures i will send some of my
better ones to you. my biggest problem is that i
didn't atke time to write down location information on
most of mine so you may not be interested in them.
it's getting late i will check back later to see more
of your photos. thanks for sharing

I have been following Scott Hagan across Ohio for
the past 3 years, taking photographs, as he paints the
Ohio Bicentennial logo on barns in all 88 counties of
Ohio. Your site has made me curious about other barns
as well. I'll finish the full 88 by this September.
Thanks for initiating me to other possibilities once I
am finished.
