"Get your motors running"...
Our museum is offering an animal powered treadmill recently deacessioned
from our collection. It was manufactured by the Vermont Farm Machine Co.,
ca. 1890.
The piece is in very good condition. It appears to have been refinished
sometime in its life.
It came to our museum 3 decades ago with no history attached to it but is
believed to have been used in SW WI. We have since accessioned another
treadmill with a direct Monroe County connection.
The wonderful piece of agricultural history is available for pick up to the
first non-profit museum/historical society that contacts me and can arrange
to pick it up in a reasonably short time.
Thanks,
Jarrod
