LITTLE RED SCHOOLHOUSE MUSEUM

FARMINGTON, ME

Hay Rake We went apple picking today in Readfield, Maine.  A very pretty location with a nice view of the mountains in the west. This was on the property. This rig used a one horse power engine.  I remember seeing my grandfather using one on his farm in Minnesota.  Putting up hay was and is an important part of farming.  We got some nice apples; honey crisp, Macintosh, and Cortland varieties.
