I bet this desk is solid and heavy!!! And look at the legs!
ReplyDeletei like that desk and the lamp on it and the spittoon under it.
ReplyDeleteThat is one solid table. It is massive on the top and bottom. Fine shots.
ReplyDeleteLove Lincoln's desk! And that barn is awesome! We discovered on Ancestry that our grandson is a descendant of a first cousin of Lincolns and he is so proud of that!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing that the barn in the first image is still standing with the weight of that huge rusty roof. It looks like it could crumble at a moment's notice!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful desk! Mike enjoys all things having to do with Lincoln. I'll be sure to tell him about this museum.

Glad you remembered to link in as I enjoyed seeing your finds.
ReplyDeleteHi Rose, Love those two old barns... I just look at the photos and wonder what all went on in them for many years... WELL--if barns could talk, they would definitely have something to day!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the old desk --and that spittoon...Guess that thing is 'worthless' these days...
Hugs,
Betsy
Marvelous shots!
ReplyDeleteLove the old barn and the museum must have been very interesting. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, Rose. That desk is huge!
ReplyDeleteI recognize that first barn. The one near Effingham. Now I'm going to have to drive over and see if it's where I think it is. Both barns are awesome and the desk is full of history! Thanks for joining in!
ReplyDeleteThat's one massive desk. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the barns, will they withstand another winter??
ReplyDeleteBeautiful desk.
Good Morning Rose! Love the old barns, takes me back to Barn Charm! Now they are charming and vintage! That old desk is a treasure!
ReplyDeleteI love the old barns. If only they could tell us their story.
ReplyDeleteWow neat seeing Lincoln's desk complete with spitoon. MB
All nice shots. I really like that desk. It looks pretty substantial!
ReplyDeleteNice shots. I really liked the 2nd one. It's also fun to view historical items like that desk.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful desk.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. I love that desk!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all three of your photos. To understand the present, we must remember the past.
ReplyDeleteI think we've lost much the last four decenniums. Thrashed buildings, books,tools, and household items. Rootless youth, I pity them. Your pictures are handing forwards a legacy. Great job.
Rubbish Tuesday? I hadn't heard of that before.
ReplyDeleteBoth old barns could use some TLC but look like they are still in use. Wow! That desk sure does look solid!
ReplyDeleteThat old desk makes my imagination run wild. (I am an Illinoisan.)
ReplyDeleteI love little museums like that. We go to them as often as we can.
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand desk... I travel through Danville when i visit my grands.
