Pictured here are a Frick Portable Steam Engine from 1923 and a Chase Shingle Mill from 1910.

the mule team is pretty!
ReplyDeleteI think that would make me feel sorry for the mules and horses, but I guess that's what they are trained to do. Nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteI felt a little concerned for them Daisy, but they looked proud and spirited. As you can see, they are beautiful animals.
ReplyDeleteThat looks and sounds like a very interesting exhibit, but I got distracted by the mules. I didn't know they grew that big! Very handsome.
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvelous event!
ReplyDeleteNice photos! We went a few years ago and I really enjoyed the parade of steam. Here's a link to a recording: http://lowtechtimes.com/2008/07/27/parade-of-steam-in-berryville-virginia/
