The story
behind the barn
When I saw that lovely round barn
shown on the cover of the November
2000 issue it touched a tender nerve
and I hastened to see what was told
about it on the inside feature. Since
there was little or no reference to it I
felt maybe something should be told
of its origin or history.
I have always been very pleased
that the above mentioned barn was
preserved and moved to its present
location at the Farm Museum. The
last time I saw it at the corner of
Steeles Ave. and Dufferin St. on
Toronto's city limits I was afraid it
may have come to an untimely end,
for the burdocks and golden rod had
almost taken over the site. Now I get
pleasure as I travel on the 401 to be
able to tell my family and
grandchildren that I put hay in that
barn in the 1940s with horses as the
motive power. Can you imagine, we
loaded the loose hay with the hay
loader with a steel -wheeled tractor
pulling and then changed the tongue
or drawbar in order to hitch the
horses on. It may be rather ancient
and primitive in the eyes of most
modern farmers today, but it really
doesn't seem all that long ago.
We milked over 100 lovely
Guernseys in the main barn on the
farm but today there is not a vestige
of there ever being a farm there. In
fact the new highway 407 goes right
through the pasture field where we
rounded up the cows on a trusty Irish
hunter horse in the small hours of the
morning.
Thought you might be interested.
