Wow, can you believe Ontario Agriculture Week is almost over
already? Nothing like a couple of blog posts to make the time fly by. Now that
we have finished our summary of farming in southwestern Ontario during the
1800s, writing about farming in Ontario gets a lot more personal. From 1900
onwards, we can find a lot of written accounts of family histories, which are a
lot more interesting than technical farm jargon. To show just a small example
of the kinds of records that exist from the early-mid 1900s, we wanted to show
our readers some scans of a book the Bobier family was kind enough to let us
use from that period.
Speaks for itself, doesn’t it? Maybe your family might have
a similar account book, or perhaps a photo from a hundred years ago. Whatever
the case, I hope you end up doing some research on your own family’s
agricultural history, and I hope you have enjoyed our blog posts for the week!
I’ve been Stephen from the Backus-Page House Museum, take care!
