Try this site.  Check his galleries under the alphabetical listings.  He's got some nice shots of most of the farms in the area.

Here are some shots I took back in 1993.

Trostle Barn

Notice the original cannonball hole that runs the whole length of the building in the second photo!

There is of course, the Perrys' plastic farmhouse:

Relatively cheap and easy to convert to larger or differnt-shaped buildings.
