When we visit a fair, my husband is always drawn to the museums of old tools. Partly because they’re interesting, but mostly because he’s old enough to remember using some of them.

He loves checking out the antique tractors but this particular brand was new even to him.

Cockshutt?

A more colorful name than John Deere that’s for sure.

No matter how many times I tell him or how many warning signs he reads… he’s always touching things when he’s not supposed to. If he did this with women instead of old farm implements.. we’d have a problem.

I always wonder where they find these fabulous wagons and carriages. Some of them are in amazingly good shape.

Ouch!

Clearly this museum has a sense of humor.

A library and one room schoolhouse from the early 1800’s.

The rig in the front of this picture is an early snow press. There were no plows to clear the roads back in the day, they just tried to flatten it as best they could.

My husband’s father used one of these on their farm. Any guesses what it is?
