BARN ON BACK RIVER ROAD, CORBETT - 2000 photo

Note from Betty Watson August 2, 2011 re: barn above

This old barn on (Back) River Rd, Corbett, Town of Colchester has been restored since
you photographed it in 2000, at least on the outside. If anyone is looking for it, they may
not recognize it at first. It is located on the left going down river from Corbett to
Gregorytown, at the end of the hamlet of Corbett.
