OSWALT FARM HOUSE AND WINDMILL
|
The old fashioned farm house, barn
and other outbuildings serve as the backdrop for the
presentation of early agricultural practices, as well as a
glimpse into the everyday life of those living on the small
family farms that once dominated the landscape of the greater
Vicksburg area. Eventually, a history of both the local Future
Farmers of America program and the area's agricultural
heritage will be located in the barn.
