Hand Tools

This link is to a film shot in Louisiana in 1949. Many of the hand tools used in the film are identical to a number of items that can be found in the barn collection (adzes and coopers knife) at the Backus-Page House Museum. It is interesting to see some of these tools still in use in the 20th century.
