During the First and Second World Wars almost all the metal materials found on farms were melted down for the war effort. Remaining hidden in the highest darkest part of the barn, the roof ridge, these venerable Ancients were left behind. As no patriot would risk life and limb to ascend to the 50-60 feet to bring them off the timber or rail, they remain to be found. Great masses of cast iron and steel, many swinging on hinged rail or rotting timber, their retrieval is a dance of potential delight and death.
Reminders of America's greatness and industrial prowess, these Iron Giants give testament to an age of labor and machinery. Look up and see the past.
