I bet there's all kinds of treasures buried in that barn. North Dakota, isn't that where people wear flip flops year round :-)

Wow that's amazing!

I can only imigane what it's like there. Who knows all the tools there.
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Wow.   Must have been a great working farm back when.  Glad you shared the pics.  So much there to save, and pass on.  Probably could frame two new homes with the lumber from that barn alone.   Like the old Chevy pickup, 1946?   First pic is of a pull type binder,  though I think its days are through.   Long ways from town?   That barn must of been built strong to survive a hundred winters in that country.  Thanks.

have 2 of them trucks they are GMC the first ones built for the military the first gmc built i believe my bro has them to restore and every one wants the wood from the barn.  we have been offered lots of money on that barn just for the weathered wood but can not find it in our hearts to sell lots of memories its one of the largest barns up there in that area. but one day it will fall to the ground.
