Other Information

The approximate location of the barn was provided by Shane Boggs. The Ohio Dept of Transportation aerial photo archives were used to pin point the exact location of the barn. Photo 3 is an interesting ODOT photo looking dirctly down on the barn in Apr. 1971. Note the cattle and the fencing. Photo 4 is another ODOT photo, taken in Sept. 1956 in which the Mail Pouch barn is circled in yellow. Another photo taken from a distance in 1956 shows that at that date there was no Mail Pouch sign on the barn.

Photo 5 is a Google satellite image to coordinate with Photo 4. The location of the barn is noted by the red pin. The pin was used to determine the address and the coordinates.
