1. Granary Marker

Inscription. Granary means a place for grain. This is where the oats and corn would be stored after harvest until it would be fed to the animals or ground into flour or corn meal at the mill. Some grain would be kept here as seeds for the next planting. These seeds were very important because without the seeds there would be no crop in the coming year. The building is raised off the ground to keep the grain safe from rodents.
