The following are pictures of snapshots I took when the barn was moved in 1992. It was moved from the original site of Foster Farms about 15 miles from Colby. I believe the Cooper family owned it at the time it was donated to the museum, hence the name. It was parked overnight on a county road near our house. The kids just had to go see it on the truck. It appears we weren't the only ones. I really need a scanner, these glossy prints don't photograph well at all.

Hi Mary, What a pretty barn and to think they moved it! Always fun to see part of your world on Friday's Shoot Outs!
It certainly is a massive barn. It holds some pretty nice stuff in the museum too. I like it. I think this is the perfect choice for this week's theme.
Wow, moving the barn was definitely a MAJOR undertaking! Kudos to the Cooper family and your community for preserving this historic building.
This great big old barn was certainly worth preserving and adds so much to the museum complex.
Love the barn-just wow!
That is certainly one big barn. I wonder what the Coopers kept in it before it was moved. A wonderful attraction!
Not only is it the premier attraction of your town but you captured it moving!!!! How awesome is that? Most buildings that large would be impossible to move. Great shoot out and fantastic capture, Mary!!!!
Have a wonderful week! Barry and Linda
The barn is beautiful and so big. I have seen small houses moved but never anything that big! WOW!
Perfect choice!
