Wind Mill

WindmillWind mills were important on the farm to pump water for the livestock as
well as supply the household. This wind mill was manufactured during the 1920s or
30s and was used to pump water for livestock on the farm of Claude Masteller,
south of Rochester.

Rochester Bridge Company

This little foot bridge is made from an iron bridge that used to be on a county road.
Rochester Bridge Company made iron truss bridges from the 1870s to 1935 when
the company went out of business during the Great Depression.

Round Chicken House

This "little round barn" is really a brooder house for raising baby chicks. We put all
kinds of chicken equipment in it: nests, feeders, waterers, incubator, egg washer,
artificial baby chicks and baby ducks. This chicken house was built about 1940 by
Ernsberger Lumber, Mentone. It was donated by Forrest Pfeiffer, in memory of his
wife Frances who was chairman of the Round Barn Festival for several years.
