The building was donated by Hartford Garner, and many of the contents by Erald Jones. Many of the machines are cream separators; the milk fresh from the cows was poured in, then the cream was separated from the skim milk. The cream was sold to dairies where butter and cheese were made. At the train station, you can see the small cream cans waiting to be taken on the train to the city dairy. The red barrel is a honey extractor; you put the honey combs in the sides, turn the crank, and wait for the honey to fly out by centrifugal force. The wooden boxes are chick incubators; the eggs could be kept warm until the chicks hatched. In the northwest corner is a salesman's model of an automatic stooking machine. This never caught on because combines, which didn't require stooks, were coming into being at the same time.
