Four Townships Meet on Wetland Farm Life and Muck Shoes
An 83 year old Wellington farmer, Lyman Bronson, recalls growing corn on the Old Miller Swamp land in four townships. He describes muck shoes designed to keep horses moving in the swamp and recounts harvest-time neighborhood threshing as social life. Bronson later suffered a fall and now lives with neighbors under care.
