I remember when the Red Barn Antique Mall opened umpty-ump years ago. I’ve bought many a gift there, and one gorgeous table that Charlie had to take apart and put back together again and is still in use.
The building itself is an old barn. Their sign cracks me up.
There’s a ramp on the other side of that gazebo, leading to the front door.
Here’s a closeup of the latch and handle.
Inside are things — such wonderful things!
The steps to the loft show the building’s origin.
Here’s a display cabinet, door open.
There are tools.
And more tools.
And more cabinets with doors.
And a hand-carved wagon pulled by hand-carved oxen.
Or why not buy, you know, a door. Because who wouldn’t pay good money for a rusty screen door, amIright?
Thanks, Norm, for creating your wonderful Thursday Doors link-up! Since I hadn’t been into the Red Barn Antique Mall for years and years, it was great fun to visit it again, especially since I got out of it without buying anything this time!
A WRITING PROMPT FOR YOU: Someone offers something for sale no sane person would buy, but a sane person buys it. Why?

June 16, 2016 at 7:36amWhat a very cool place! OK, I like the doors, but I LOVE the tools. Such a nice collection of antique tools. I could spend hours (and a ton of money) in that place. Thanks for bringing this to us!

June 16, 2016 at 2:32pmLove, love, love! Is there anything more Hoosierly than a big red barn? Love it! (Yes, I kinda want that old screen door!)

June 17, 2016 at 1:33pmNow, what would you do with a rusty old screen door, eh? It might be fun to hang it on the wall as art.

June 18, 2016 at 8:12amI love it – you’d lose me for hours in a place like this and I’d probably pcik up at least a few of those tools, even though I have enough already.
That barn is wonderful š

June 18, 2016 at 10:29amI was so happy to see it preserved instead of torn down! There are so many wonderful and funny things in there, I couldn’t begin to show them all! š
