America was once a nation of farmers which produced food, not only for themselves, but for the rest of the country.
Those farms have all but disappeared. They exist now only in the memories of the farmers' elderly children.
On a plat of 80 acres in the Missouri Ozarks stands an abandoned farm where time has literally stood still. The owners long since passed, their children are not willing to let the farm go.
The result is a farm that is stuck in time. Vintage farming equipment lay ready to be hitched to team horses. Decaying farm buildings stand empty, waiting for a harvest that will never come.
Enjoy a pictorial tour of the Missouri farm that is trapped in time.

It is sad. Thanks for reading!
Lovely photos but also so sad. Where there was once such life and abundance now there is just ruin and memory.
I really want that book lol
That book you featured looks great. Sometimes I wish we could go back in time and just spend a few days hanging out at these old farms.
That was my favorite photo. It looks like it was hung up there to be used the next day and the next day never came.
AbbyFitz, Such a lovely tribute to this farm, which we learn at the end belonged to your grandparents. The photo entitled "A Horse Collar Hangs Inside an Abandoned Barn" captures the atmosphere and mystique of sunlight filtering through old wood.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked them
I love old places. Your photos are beautiful.
Thank you!
Excellent job of preserving these memories!
