PA Barn tour
Buddy at work talking about taking a trip to PA and doing some barn tour where you look at old barns that were painted as advertisements?? We could not find anything online. I said if anyone knows......someone here will.

RE: PA Barn tour
There are a couple of barns painted up on Rt.30 in Bedford and Westmoreland Counties. They were painted a couple of years ago in celebration of the Lincoln Highway.
More information of the Roadside Museum available here:

Well I feel dumb. I have seen those murals in McConnellsburg and Chambersburg a zillion times and didn't know there were more of them! Maybe sometime I will go on a ride and look for some other ones.
However, when I read this post I immediately thought of the Mail Pouch barns....

This link provides locations of all barns in all states. Even long. and lat. so you can use a GPS to find them. Cool. New excuse to get myself a GPS.
I couldn't find info about an organized tour, though.
SO which was your friend talking about? I am betting on the mail pouch barns, as only two of the lincoln highway murals are on barns, and the mail pouch barns are on much more interesting roads! (rt. 30 can be boring and has a lot of tractor trailers in places)

There are Hex Barn Art tours, but those are not "advertisements".

Gee, people sure must like to look at barns.

The best riding in this state is along the northern tier. Route 6, Rte. 44, Rte 15 from Mansfield to Williamsport, Rte 120. The barns you are looking for are around Lancaster Co. and heading West. The north state is mountainous with plenty of neat little towns and hundreds of miles of hassle free riding. The south is fairly flat and has more carcongestion then up north. If you check where the Amish communities are in the state you will find the barns.
