Somewhere around here there at least used to be a topic about the barn roof said to be built out of the Mayflower.
My home’s foundation is made out of steel beams I salvaged from the Titanic.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out why the house is sinking into the ground. . .
Haven't found the FR article yet, but there is plenty of articles about the barn, when this estate went up for sale.
Our family lore is that there had been a trunk from Mayflower in one of our two adjoining homesteads in western NY. Mom and my aunts said they knew it, but it disappeared 30+ years ago. (My cousin’s thieving lying lazy son stayed there for a while and many things disappeared.) I am skeptical. Too much time has passed, and the distance from New England is so far.
When you posted the title I thought of the Mayflower barn. I remember it from a Paul Harvey Rest of the Story episode.
