On December 8, Richard & I, and Verne & Steve (Richard's sister and brother-in-law), went to Barrington Living History Farm (Washington, TX) again. The photos are of this farmhouse and corresponding buildings, from the 1800's. The park employees were showing us what it would have been like there at Christmastime. There are 71 photos!!! Enjoy!
