Took these pics . from around Clinton Camp Farm, Cen. NY in the past few days. Sun is setting here at 4;00 pm and have been casting long shadows.
The last pic of the old barn was taken several years back on our upper farm. The barn is gone now.

ACG,
How did your farm get its name?

Adirondack case guy,

Awesome photos! I really like scenery, in addition to old iron, barns, buildings, etc.

Love the old barn, the sun through the trees and the moss covered rocks. My favorite is photo 3 because of the unusual tree growth. Wonder what would have caused that.

Did you repurpose any of the lumber from the old barn?

Our native shawnee indians around here would bend trees at certain points on trails , to mark trails or show direction. Most of these trees have died though now. At least in our county.

Glen, I have posted this several times, so I am trying something different so there is more info available. During the Revolutionary War Gen. James Clinton Comander of the Coninental army set up base camp in the dooryard of Clinton Camp Farm, To start the second phase of the army's march, from overland to rafting down the Susquehanna River to link up with the 4th PA Regiment and on to support George Washington's army at Valley Forge.
Clinton set up camp here to dam up Otsego Lake, the headwaters of the Susquehanna River.
I couldn't get the link to feed on here, so just google in General James Clinton, Go to Revolutionary war era, and the story is there.
The two pics. is the Historical marker at the farm, and a monument by my house on todays, US Rt20, (in revolutionary days called "The Great Western Turnpike"), commerating Clinton's life.
We live where The first Americans fought the British and Native Indians to settle and create this great country.
