A Barn with No Purpose

Our beautiful old barn is about 90% empty. I have yet to figure out a good use for it. Inside the all-wood structure are some "stalls" which would indicate to me that they were originally used to house some sort of animals... but what? I'm using a small corner of this barn for my chickens, but they rarely go in because it's so dark. 

I may use one of these stalls as a brooding area when I get my chick order in.

The kids like playing up in the amazing loft.

So.... any suggestions?

Evening walk...

Handy Husband and I took a walk through some of the pastures tonight, checking on fence-lines, taking inventory of what needs fixing and where. The above photo is taken from the hay pasture in the back of the property, looking up to the farmstead. From left to right, the buildings are: haybarn, milkbarn, chicken/rabbit barn, horse barn.

The sun cast some beautiful rays through the aisle of the horse barn:



Outbuildings, part 2



This is a wonderful, multi-use barn. The inner part has stalls/pens that we've
yet to figure out what animals they were used for. There is a breezeway
connecting the west side and south side areas.
I'm currently using this barn mainly for the chickens and rabbits.



For lack of a better name, we call this the hay barn. It's a large metal building. In one corner (not shown) there are the remnants of two animal stalls- not sure what those were used for. As you can see in the picture, there is some damage to the roof that occurred during a tornado that ripped through the area in January of 2011.
