Tools of the Trade
Learn about the tools and technologies used on a farm and how they have evolved over time.
In the live session, we’ll look at artifacts from our collections and compare them to modern-day tools used for the same jobs today. In the pre-recorded video and materials, students will learn how simple machines can make a job easier, and see what simple machines they can find in their own homes and surroundings.
