NELDON RIGBY BARN


The photo of this barn first showed up twice  in a little leaflet financed by the Smithsonian and entitled "Barn Again".  The photographer was Larry Nielsen of Ephraim.  All photos had been done in black and white.I (Kathy Hafen) was working at the Ephraim Post Office as a clerk.  When Larry came in one day I asked him why my dad's barn was shown twice in the leaflet. He asked me what the location was.  I told him 789 East 1st South in Mt Pleasant.  He came back a few days later with the photo below as a gift to me.  This is a colorized version of the same photo.  It  was the way the apple trees and apples framed the picture that made it one of his favorites.
