I traveled to northern Indiana with my daughter Debbie so she could take a sewing machine service and repair class. It was a two part class so we were there more then a week...On Sunday, her only free day from class we took a road trip called The Heritage Trail...We were in Amish country so nothing was open for us to visit but had a great time and learned a few things by listening to the audio that followed along with the trip.

This popcorn farm specializes in a special popcorn called sweet corn. It is made from the tiny tender kernels at the very end of cob...

The following photos are of the old railway station that has been transformed into shops and eateries. You can see the rails going down between the buildings and if you look closely you can imagine the people waiting for the train to pull in as they wait on the platform to the left of the photo. The right is the back entrance of the "Bag Factory

The windows of the Bag Factory have all been boarded up...Literally...They have plywood over them with panes painted on. A clever and artistic way to solve a problem

As we traveled on under beautiful cloudy skies we came across this old barn..I love old buildings especially the ones that are barely hanging on.

There are dozens of these statues scattered along The Heritage Trail but we captured only a few.
Darlene! It is such a pleasure to go on the journey with you and your daughter. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ruth...The journey has been very rewarding for me...I love listening to my daughter each evening tell me all the things she has learned and I will admit I am a bit envious of her taking this class in machine repair and servicing...but it is very expensive and not something I can do at this stage of my life. I have been inspired to get going on my art again as well as some fun sewing projects. Thank you for reading and commenting.
