Buckley Adventures in the 1910's Farm!

Bank Barn

The bank barn is a really important place to the  farm. The barn was built on a bank, which is a hill. So that means there are 2 floors. The animals were kept on the bottom floor, so they can sleep at night. Everyday their cats would wonder around and catch mice, that was the cats big job.  The animals had a ramp going into the second floor. The animals would never go on the top floor they weren't allowed by the hay and straw. It was stored up on that floor.

Hay And Straw
In the background you can see the hay piled up.
The 1910 farm Bank Barn stored hay and straw for the animals. The straw was bedding for the animals. The straw was the leftover wheat that you can't eat.  The hay was yummy food for the animals. The hay was made out of grass.

The Kitchen
 
                        
The kitchen was for women to cook. They use huge pots to cook. They had a wood burning stove. The building only had the kitchen in it. They kept their supplies in random tin contains. They used tin to keep the moisture out. You had to open the containers to check to see what was in it.

Butcher 
Have you ever wondered about butchering in 1910? Well don't worry anymore.   The butcher must gather all the meat for the big meal. That starts at 1:00 everyday. But breakfast was really small they ate food like donuts, biscuits and gravy, milk and apples. Did you know that there was an assistant cook who had to know how to butcher. The cook must start working at 2:00 a.m. everyday. They all get payed $1.00 a day.
