Next door to the Wellington County Museum (see yesterday’s post) is a large barn. The former House of Industry and Refuge operated as a self sufficient industrial farm where the ‘inmates’ (as they were called) took part in the raising of livestock and the growing of crops.

I love the colour of this barn and interesting to learn of its history. I’ll have to search this one out!
