I have seen a lot of barns in my travels including, historic barns, dairy barns and round barns but I was surprised to see a sock barn in southern Indiana. I saw it on State Road 46 on my way to the T.C. Steele Historic Site near Nashville, Indiana. It looked rather odd with socks attached to the side of it so I had to stop and get a pic.
Here it is a year later since my Trip to Indiana and I got to wondering about the strange barn. I searched the internet figuring I would not find anything. Instead, I found out that the barn is along the Tecumseh Trail and the owners of the barn had collected rocks at a nearby creek. They placed them by the barn and as a joke posted a sign that read “Take a Rock, Leave a Sock.” Hikers along the trail read the sign an did what it said and that is how the barn ended up as The Sock Barn.
