Tattersall Farm Part 1
Tattersall Farm is one of the many peaceful places in our city. This 150 acre farm was donated to the city back in 1999 by the former owners and to be kept as conservation land to enjoy.
Being a lover of old stuff I was intrigued the by various old farm equipment on display in their rusty weathered state.
Many of the pieces here were horse drawn back in the day.
It is like a farm museum. There are posts to explain how the pieces of equipment were used.
Here is an old hay wagon frame below.
Of course the place needs to show an old John Deere!
I love the seriously corroded horseshoes!
The horse drawn hay rake is quite cool. Although I have no interest in old farm equipment I really enjoyed checking out these pieces.
Particularly with envisioning them being horse drawn with an uncomfortable farmer on the seat.
I hope you enjoyed my little vintage farming tour.

it is amazing how much they could accomplish back then with limited technology and horse power.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pace to be with a camera, Val, and like you, I just LOVE those old horseshoes.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking us along with you.
Have a great weekend!
I love outdoor museums. It's an effective way to show the pieces.
ReplyDeleteQuite a contrast to today's farm equipment, isn't it -- now they've got air-conditioned cabs with music systems, etc. Pretty sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh, the horseshoes! What a great place for a leisurely stroll on a sunny afternoon :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a fascinating, and scary-looking piece of machinery! I love looking at old pieces like that.
ReplyDeletethe seat in the first pic is something that my mom always had in the house as she grew up on a farm in Nebraska. I don't think I've seen another since my mom .... how fun to see it here!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing pieces like this as well. I think we can find beauty in the oddest of things. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo interesting to see all these from back then! People worked hard with so litlle. With there rudumentary tools people learned to create sophisticated farm equipments.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice for people to donate their land, so everyone can enjoy it!
Have a great Sunday!
Oh I love rusted equipment as well! What a nice tour :)
ReplyDeleteVal, I bet his patootie hurt at the end of the day! LOL That's a small & hard seat. Also heavy equipment for the horse to pull! Ahhhh, advancements in technology!Really cool place to visit :D

What a great place to explore. It's hard to imaging what they could do back then without technology. Somehow it's amazing. Happy new week, Val.

What a delightful place!
ReplyDeleteI love old stuff like that. I like to imagine what it must have been like to live back then. I would sure miss my modern conveniences but it might be fun to try it out for a few days.
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see these pieces still on display. I can't imagine being a farmer back in the day of metal seats and no tractors with cabs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool place to go Val! Those farmers worked so hard! Well, they do today too, but more back then! I hope they always keep this land the way it is, for the public to enjoy! I hate when things get lost and buildings go up instead! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteNice photos Val, those seats do look very hard and uncomfortable :D
ReplyDeleteJust dropping by to wish you a happy Friday, Val.

I loved your vintage farm tour. This is almost like an outdoor museum or sculpture park. I've always been a big fan of large rusted metal structures. Each piece has such a rustic look that is truly timeless. What was your absolute favorite piece of farm equipment? I'd be so intrigued to find out how you found about this place?
