Inscription. The granary, or corncrib, was a structure found in any Native American village. It was used to dry and store corn, grains, and other foods throughout the year. Early settlers learned how to properly store their corn from Native people.

Granaries were built in many shapes and sizes - some above ground and some below. Foods were stored in baskets, bags, or buried in lined pits. All of these methods prevented moisture and animal intrusion.
