Big Blue River Scenic Back Road
From 10th, 1 mile west on U.S. 36, 4¾ miles south on W. River, then ¾ mile west on Osage. This narrow, winding road follows the river, drifts into bottomland, and takes you past farmsteads tucked into wooded areas. When you turn west, head for the microwave tower to find the 1914 Lewis Rowe round barn, the only barn in the state known to come from a Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog kit. Drive by only.
