When a historic house becomes a museum, it can be used as a showcase of home life in the past. However, the use of a house as a museum means that large artifacts, such as farm equipment, cannot be displayed due to lack of room. Attached to the back of the Country School building adjacent to Presby House Museum in Goldendale, Washington, is an annex filled with farm equipment.
Shown above is a 1941 Farmall Model “A” Tractor.
