Image Info

When the hay had dried sufficiently to store in a barn, the windrowed hay was loaded on a hay wagon using a hay loader which was pulled behind the wagon.

In 1922 Olof O. Nylander assembled a display of photographs, maps and charts of the Maine Swedish Colony which he displayed at the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of Gothenburg, Sweden. The series of display cards, or samlats, each featured several photographs of homes, businesses and community members from New Sweden, Woodland, Perham and Caribou.
This photograph is from samlat 6.
