Round Barn Hamilton GA

This barn is WAY off the road. My wife and I stopped on the roadside to photograph the building, then got back in the car and drove off. Shortly, an old pickup truck was behind us beeping it's horn and the driver waving at us out of the window. I though we were going to have a confrontation with an angry landowner. I stopped at the next turnoff expecting the worst. It was the landowner, a younger black man, but he was not mad. It turns out he had been contacted by a "professi...onal" photographer to take pictures of the barn. When he found out we were not the one, he still invited us up to take closer photos and look inside as well. He was very nice, but I was unnerved and politely declined. Were were late for check-in at a local resort, anyway. He did tell us that his family had worked for a very prominent man who had passed on, and he currently worked for the man's son. The son gave/sold the land that included this barn and an old house to the black man, who was now working to restore them both. I have not passed that way again, but might take the trip just to see if he has made any progress.
