Oxen Reunited

Often in the museum collection local residents appear multiple times, but it is rather unusual for a team of oxen. This team of oxen belonged to the Peirce Family who sawed rough lumber north of Methodist Church next to railroad tracks in Watervliet. These late 19th century photographs are reunited in the museum after the second photograph, which formerly hung in the 5/3 bank lobby, was donated to the museum.
