The William Fairbairn House: A Witness to Change Along the Gatineau

 

 

TRANSCRIPT

"I can remember ... the Indian corn, when we'd break it off in the fall (the ears of corn). We'd get it into the barn or into our stable .... It was the summer time and we took it in there....

And we'd have a row of corn, about five deep, I guess, and then we'd have benches all along the length of the alley way. And we'd get them sitting, all lined up on the benches, husking the corn. And we had bins that we threw the husked corn into."
