Harvest of corn, 1965.
The field is located 4.5 miles east of Trappe on the
west side of Windy Hill Road, about midway between
Bambury Cemetery and the village of Bruceville. This
was about the last field in the Trappe area to be
harvested the old fashioned way where the corn stalks
was cut and stacked in "shocks" to finish
drying before being husked and shelled, usually by
hand. [Robert Croswell]
