Inscription.
Corn Crib. . It was common for farmers to have a corn crib to store feedcorn in the outside walls and farm equipment inside the walls, thus providing two used within one building. This style corn crib was popular from the mid-18th century until the 1950s. Heavy horse-drawn equipment that was difficult to back up could be pulled forward into the structure and thus protected from the elements until its next use. This corn crib was moved to this site from the Jeremiah Norwood Farm in Little Bennett Park by the Friends of the Agricultural History Farm Park in 2002 and restored by the Friends group and park staff.
