Missouri Missouri is full of scenic barns. A lot of them can be seen simply by riding your bicycle on the KATY Trail. The photo to the left is an example of a barn as seen from the KATY Trail. Even rustic abandoned houses such as this one take on a certain charm when they have become weathered over the years.
