CWDD: Scythe and Reapers

[Jeremy Bevard]

Join us at The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation as we explore the scythe tools and reaper machines. Debra Reid, Curator of Agriculture and the Environment, discusses what was changing in the mid-19th century in farming to give us a broader understanding while focusing in on the scythe in particular. This tool has a long history and was still in prevalent use during the Civil War years.
