A few pictures of a mountain farm. They raised 10 kids farming on land the Tax assessor deemed unfit for crops or cattle.

the mt where this farm is

The farm is about 2 miles above and to the right of the building.The town is a mile below this picture.

| the corn crib |

| the hogs and chickens house |
These pictures and what little has survived a 140 years only give a hint of what life was like in the 1870s.A lot of people call themselves survivalists but these people didn't just survive they thrived and left us a rich and vast knowledge base.I guess thats why i love history.
Hi Gary,
ReplyDeleteThis is off topic but I am very interested in building a small trailer to tow with my 4 cylinder S-10 Pick-up. I'm wondering what the dimensions of your trailer are?
Mike mine is a 4x8.The best advice on a trailer build this size is use a harbor feight trailer.They are 4x8 and i used 1/2 inch plywood on floor and sides.I used textured fiberglass shower wall from Lowes for the top.
Deletetrailer is 249 on sale
wood, fibeglass, screws, and glue allow 400 is doable.
