Other Information

Photo 4 is a zoomed image of the west end of the barn. The Mail Pouch sign on the north side of the barn is slightly visible in a different ODOT photo; however, it is too grainy to add to the site photos. Photo 5 the Mail Pouch barn is circled in yellow. For coordination with Photo 6 (Google satellite image) the Ebenezer Mennonite Church, which still exists, is circled in red. In Photo 6 the red pin marks the location where the Mail Pouch barn once stood. The pin was used to determine the address and coordinates.

Where to find it
