Papa Gaines Barn Legacy of Trading and Selling Horses

Leonard Gaines built a bustling livery barn in Arlington Nebraska after trading an 80 acre Iowa farm in 1906. He traveled four states buying horses for shipment home while Mama tended a large garden and five women kept house. The Barn housed stables, harnesses, carriages, an annex with a haymow, and an office where cribbage and checks tracked horse purchases. After World War I the garage era reduced traffic and he became a successful real estate dealer, continuing his talent for trading and selling.
