When my grandparent's farm sold after they passed away, we went and took pictures of the house, barn and corn crib as we knew the buyer intended to tear the buildings down and build a new house. We enlarged the pictures, changed them to black and white and framed them. While I agree the memories are in your head and heart, I love those pictures. They always make me smile as I remember my time there years ago.
Congrats on the grandbaby
