Preparing a Horse for Plowing

Governor Charles B. Aycock's birthplace became a North Carolina State Historic Site in 1958. In addition to a mid-nineteenth-century farmstead, including a house, kitchen, and other outbuildings furnished with period pieces, the site includes stables and barns, a one-room schoolhouse (ca. 1893) moved to the site to represent the grassroots educational revival pushed by Aycock, and a visitors center. A number of living history demonstrations are offered throughout the year, as well as educational programs aimed particularly at students studying North Carolina history.

Well I'm sorry you never got a comment. Always had bits and pieces of plows that came rusting with the property but could never make head nor tail of them. This evening I set out to do that very thing. Then came the horse part which this video amply answered. One would think that since this tech has been around 300 years we'd be born knowing all about it. I guess not. Most who knew how this stuff went together are no longer with us. If anyone is seeing this GREAT JOB!
