Fred Webster was a man with a dream. He wanted to create a museum of agricultural technology and its evolution in norther New England. During his life he accumulated hundreds of pieces of farm implements, most of them horse drawn. Unfortunately, the resources to build the museum never arrived and his family had his collection auctioned.
Fred saved this horse drawn equipment from the scrap yard, and you can watch the evolution of the technology by strolling the yard.
While it was tragic knowing his dream wouldn't be a reality, we captured a snapshot of his collection at this moment in time, and left the auction with some tools that will help us carry the tradition of horse-power into the 21st century.

it was interesting to see and I think we did well. I will also say that rumors circled that some dealers to and for the amish came through and picked the lot over. Bought the 7 and 9 mowers, etc.
