That barn is huge. I can only imagine how impressive the size is in person. I grew up on a farm back in the 60's with hogs and cattle. We had a big barn, but not the size of this one. I cleaned many pens with a pitchfork. I can only imagine how many hours of manual labor were spent cleaning manure out of that barn.
That barn is about 10 miles south of Sharon, North Dakota. I was born in a small one room hospital in Sharon, ND, in 1952. My parents owned a farm northeast of Finley, which is about 12 miles northeast of that barn. We moved to northwest Iowa in 1957 when I was 5 years old. I was too young (at that time when we moved) to know about that barn, but I think that my deceased father likely knew about it. My parents had wonderful neighbors and friends in North Dakota. Even though I was only 5 years old, I remember those very nice neighbors.
Nice work on this video! All of your videos have been interesting. I know a lot of work goes into the research and video production and I appreciate it.
There used to be funds that the successful farmer magazine, and other organizations put forth to save these structures, Called Barn Again. Saved several important historical barns, another is the Bagg Bonanza farm at Mooreton ND.
Drive by this barn on the way to Deer camp at McHenry ND. The barn should be put on Historic places. Just think of all the livestock that went through the barn. Just the history is unbelievable. If the barn could talk it would tell us a lot of stories
Unless there was a local newspaper nearby which documented the construction, that part is lost to history. I couldn't find any mentions of it in nearby newspapers. As far as the inside, without permission I don't go inside. That can be dangerous too, with skunks and rotting wood!
What material is that barn made of? It looks like sheets of metal. The first thing I thought of was tin, like tin ceiling tiles that they used years ago.
Ours was a salt box barn came down 2001 fireman practice on it year later it was last one on our road 😢 wish we still had it. My grandparents didn't want to keep it and fix it just need a roof
Man, that had to be a lot of work to put all the tin on that thing with hammers and nails! I wonder how many fingers got hammered! It would take a lot of hay to fill that sucker up upstairs! Be nice to know what it was all used for. I can't believe you didn't at least stick your camera in that open door.

Thanks for the great video.

I vary much enjoy these barns. The history is a nice touch too. No way for an inside look? Thank you.
Best regards from Indiana.
Great video 👍 The house was moved to west of Thompson. They put a lot of time into it and looks very nice 👍

I was really hoping that you would talk about the construction of the barn. Or show the inside.

that's one hell of a barn. I wonder how many cows he had. It looks like he had more than the usual number.
It would have been nice to see the inside and how it was laid out.
My grandparents farm is just south of that barn on the road to Luverne
Piece of equipment he is on is an 8-16 International tractor.
The shingles are in rough shape but aren't more then 30 years old. Why is it in such decent shape for it's age? Who extended it's life?
Cut the grass and cut all the brush around the barn. Beautiful building!.
Armchair Quarterback much?

It is just coated in pieces of tin, which was done later.

Sad they sit empty
They worked there ass off in those days! No modern tooling back then. Please government officials find money to preserve it

Sure would be a shame to let that barn deteriorate any further !!
