| The 1920s Farmstead |
Provides the ability to contrast agricultural practices of Native Americans, the 1920s, typical of the first half of the century, to that of the chemical and mechanical revolutions after WWII. Concurrently, the farmhouse provides a view of rural family life in the early 20th century.
