i'll cut 'em some slack, then. :) thanks, john!
I like seeing the old rail fences. Even if they are not the originals. This looks like a nice place for a day trip for us. We live near Lincoln Log Cabin Historical Site, which was another Thomas Lincoln farm. Nice post!
I like this fence. Some farmers here still make fences like that. :)
I love romance and "thinking" this is THE fences he built makes a great image in my mind. :)
Great post.
This is a lovely idea for people to see and I love the way the fences were made.
Love those rustic split rail fences!
What a nice display the workmanship of days gone by!

It's the ORIGINAL fence (it's just the posts and rails that have been replaced!)
Love those rustic fences and the link between the two Lincolns..
