Rushing Barn, Circa 1912, Bulloch County

A rustic wooden barn with a metal roof, surrounded by green grass and trees, under a partly cloudy sky.

This hay and stock barn, owned by the John Rushing family, is a twin to the famous Coleman Barn (Big Barn) located about 35 miles away in Candler County.

An old, rustic barn with a corrugated metal roof, surrounded by lush green grass and trees under a partly cloudy sky.

Charles Rushing notes that the Coleman and Rushing families were cousins, explaining the similarity of the two barns. The Coleman barn and this example are among the two nicest early-20th-century barns in South Georgia. They are landmarks in their own right.

Thanks to James Lanier for background and Kenneth Dixon for location information.
