AgricultureArtifacts

In addition to the artifacts listed below, here are photos that Melanie took at the Agriculture Society (at The Farmington Fairgrounds) of all of their artifacts. It's a visual clue as to the many possibilities of artifacts that they have. Once we get the Agriculture Society on board, we'll have a whole new bucketload of cool stuff.

Taffy started an "inventory" of Mills in the area and the history of what was being milled at that location during different eras. Wowser, what a resource. I'm guessing that pretty soon, we'll want to put this info onto a wiki page itself so that it can easily be updated by Taffy as she finds out more and by others as they unearth good info. For now, here's the original document from Taffy that she sent on November 6, 2008.
