As you can see in both photos, this particular barn's purpose is (was) to store farming equipment.
Sorry, I know this second one is a bit blurry. But you can see that they've got tobacco hanging from the ceiling to dry. (I don't know if this used to be a big crop for Iowa, or if Living History Farms has it in here for "show." I should look up Iowa's main crops from the late 19th century.)
And on the floor, is a yolk for oxen.

I always like to see inside an old barn. It's nice to see how it was used.
we don't usually get to see inside, so this is a treat.
thank you for joining =)
I wish we could see inside of more barns. I think what is stored inside is interesting too. Thanks for getting some interior shots.
I read your profile and I have a question about your studies: are you attending classes or are you able to take at least some online?
Neat. Thanks for sharing!
