The barn in the first picture (above) belonged to Aubin J.N. Gallant who lived about
half a mile from Leo's place. In 1964, Leo and his father Sylvère bought the
barn and had it hauled on their property. According
to Adrus, Aubin's son, the beams were squared by hand. Leo tells me that it
looks a bit younger than their old barn. So maybe it dates from around 1900.
In the other photo (below), the first building is the granary and the older part of the big barn would date back to circa 1870."

"Here is an aerial photo below of the farm circa 1970."
