Over time, it seems barns develop a personality and become beautiful

Alabama barns over the years take on a character of their own. These photos by Carol Highsmith bring back memories of olden days.

The barn below, near Gadsden, Alabama, has seen better days but is still defiantly standing

The lean-to on the side looks sturdy but I’m not so sure about the rest

I love the red cow on this one!

I bet this house and barn have many stories to tell

I love the flowers and wreath on this one. They are so homey.

Looks like this barn has served another purpose at Point Clear, Alabama

Shed and barn in Monroe County, Alabama

This one has good shelter from the sun

And of course, he is the main reason to have a barn
