Years ago, I was charmed by this old homestead. It’s located near Yonah Dam; and while I was in college, I often rode out to a park located across from this barn and the house that is attached to it. In the summer, I would listen to normal sounds coming from the family who lived here—sounds that families make when they are together. The closing of a screen door, the sound of a mother’s voice as she calls to her son, or the chatter of friends on the screened-in front porch. The house is silent now and the barn is empty. Last week, I walked across the yard to the barn after realizing that Georgia Power now owns the property. “It’s sad,” I commented to a friend, “Time really does change things.”
Angie,
I really enjoy photos of abandoned houses,ghost towns and such. More,more,more! In the old Madison area across from the lake go on Cleveland Pike Rd. Turn left onto Berry Farm Rd. then left again onto Moore Farm Rd. About 3/4 mile on the left close to the road is a farm building with trees growing up around it. Thought you would be interested.
