I forget to post this earlier. These photos are from a drive we took while not mingling with people during the Omicron variant outbreak.

And as we rounded the building he found the answer to my query!

I am uncertain who still burns coal in their homes or barns in Clermont county, but someone must!

According to Answers.com on the internet, “People use coal for warming their homes and as fuel for cooking, as well as a source of energy for powering certain machines.”

If you are a Clermont County or Brown County resident who knows the answer to my question, please post in the comments section! Educate a city girl!
