This Highland Township barn, built in the 1920’s by Edsel Ford, was “Michigan Barn of the Year” in 2008. It was supposedly the largest barn in Michigan at one time. Three Fourths of the structure was destroyed by 80 MPH winds in 2009, shortly after it’s renovation was begun by the Friends of Highland State Recreation Area. The picture shows how it stands as of today, after a massive clean-up. Just a piece of local history, but somewhat interesting to me. For a photo of what it looked like before the storm, look here: http://www.mibarn.net/2008%20Edsel%20Ford%20Barn.htm
