    Beautifully maintained Tobacco Farm, Suffield CT area

    The northern portion of CT straddling the CT river was rich in tobacco farming through the 19th and 20th century. As a result tobacco farms dotted the countryside and it’s almost impossible not to see dozens of them as you drive throughout the towns in this area. As a photographer and connoisseur of old barns I couldn’t help but take notice of the superior condition this tobacco barn was in. The owner has gone through great lengths to keep the exterior stained and the roof updated. Pretty much every old tobacco farm that I’ve seen has been withering in it’s natural state.

    Beautiful Barns in Suffield, CT

    [wzslider autoplay=”true” interval=”6000″ height=”900″ lightbox=”true”]I thought the snow played nicely with the overall appeal of these photo’s.  Frankly I couldn’t tell if these barns are in use or not.  The large old “cow barn” is the most beautiful barn I’d ever seen.  I suspect it’s been re-purposed but to what end I don’t know.  It’s maintained beautifully and makes quite a statement.  I couldn’t resist capturing this photograph in Suffield in north/central CT not far from the MA border. Taken with my Fuji Finepix F100fd 12mp pocket camera.
