The Francis Morris barn in the Wilde Lake area of Columbia, Maryland. The ASAE plaque is mounted just to the left of the double doors. 

To visit ASAE's plaque recognizing the first US pit silos:
From highway US 29, go west on MD 175 (the Little Patuxent Parkway). 

At the second traffic light, turn right on Running Brook.  Immediately take the first left.  You will find a stone house on your right and the barn, with the plaque, on your left.
