Other Information

The Penn Pilot program was used to determine the location of this Mail Pouch barn. The Mail Pouch barn is highlighted in yellow in photos 5 & 6. In addition, the larger barn, adjacent to the MP barn is circled in red. The foundation of this barn (long since removed) is visible in Zinn photos 2 & 4. In addition; in Zinn photo 3, at the far right, in the distance the 'Morton Buildings' office is visible.

Photo 7 (Google satellite image) the red pin is the location where the barn once stood. The pin was used to determine the address and the coordinates.
