Barn - Nosy Crow Skip to content

A barn is a large farm building used for storing grain, hay, or straw or used as a place for animals to live and sleep. The one in this picture is red, which is a common colour for barns in North America. The artist who made this picture has also added smaller details – can you see the farmers, some hay, and a painting of a horse on the barn?
