Florida Flywheelers Village Tour
This is the Ag Museum. It is dedicated to preserving dairy equipment. The windmill out front was a familiar part of many rural landscapes years past. We even had one in Georgia where I was born. Ours was imported from Brazil where a manufacturer had bought the molds from the old Aeromotor company. It worked fine for many years, giving us water without the bother of having electricity. The old quonset hut type of building was used a lot during world war II and you can still see some today.
The Hardware store has some real neat old tools on display when it is open during a show. The owners have put out signs that have questions for you to answer to give you hints as to what each tool was used for. I got a less than perfect score when I went in there. How do you think you would do?.
Here is Gene and Maurice's Amish Barn. You will notice that it is two stories high. It was built that way to get the hay off of the top of the high hay wagons. The Amish are very practical folk and this made storing and doling out hay during the winter a lot easier task. It is full of old equipment and tools. Out front is an old Oliver tractor and a bale of cotton hanging from a block and tackle like they used to do at the Cotton Markets in the south.
Here are some tractors waiting for our next show
that have been parked out front of the Amish Barn. There
are several John Deeres, an Oliver (who stands guard
all summer long) and a walk behind mower. Since our
featured machine for our next show is Maytag, I bet
there are a few out on the front porch now.
