Hundreds of old farm tools and equipment are shown to be echoes of
America's past, as farming remains vital to the economy today.
Major chapters cover old haying, grains, tobacco, orchards,
poultry, dairy, horses and mules in farm practices. Over 600
vintage and modern photos display the amazing variety of gadgets
once necessary for farming. These objects are preserved in
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, at the Landis Valley Museum, where they
help to interpret American farm life of the 18th, 19th, and 20th
centuries. This book extends the reach of the museum's collections
to interested people worldwide.
