Abandoned Burlington

Abandoned Archaic Art, a photo by Louis Q on Flickr.
Abandoned Archaic Art by Louis QI was up and out early last Saturday just to check out a location I pass all the time on my way to work. There are definately some cool places in this little town including the old M.E. Church from 1812 and the creepy cemetery next to it. Many claim the place is haunted, I am pretty sure it is. Less than a mile down the road sits this old barn next to an abandonded gas station with a fireplace inside....?....I parked my car and looked around. Grabbed some exteriors of the station but no interiors as it was locked. I did not see any no trespassing signs but alas I am not about to damage or break into any place that is not accessible. After walking around and grabbing a few shots of this cool yet eerie barn, I noticed an old house behind it on the hill covered in overgrowth with a huge old oak tree with an ancient rope swing hanging from it, sitting in front of the property. The house had a very interesting feature, a corner window. I was facinated by this property, but started getting a little spooked so I left without checking for any entry into the house. I again, saw no posted signs on the house or the gas station, but only a few on the deteriorating barn which appeared very unstable and unsafe. I plan on contacting some fellow adventurers and head back out there for some more investigating and to capture some more archaic art....stay tuned
