Transportation is very important for not only the Farm but for everyone.  Without good transportation we would not be able to get the things we need or ship out the things we grow and make.  On the Farm there are many different machines that are needed to keep up with the daily chores.  Tractors, Oil Tankers, Combines, Trucks, and other mechanical  devices that help with the daily chores.  At Heritage Farm Museum & Village we have several examples of Technology.

Oil Tanker

In the 1890’s the tank wagons were usually pulled by one horse, two, and even three horses depending on the size of the tank and weight of the load. Capacity of the tanks varied from 300 to 550 gallons for the one and two horse wagons and 900 gallons for the three horse tank wagon.

Chuck Wagon

A chuckwagon or chuck wagon is a type of "field kitchen" covered wagon historically used for the storage and transportation of perishable food and cooking equipment on the prairies of the United States and Canada.[1] Such wagons formed part of a wagon train of settlers or fed traveling workers such as cowboys or loggers.

Heritage School Bus

While most One Room School Houses didn't have a School Bus, we have our own here at the Farm.
