Beasts of Burden
Barrington Living History Farm, at Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historical Park, Highway 105 between Navasota and Brenham on FM 1155.
Farmers of the 1850s relied on beasts of burden to cultivate a life
from the soil. During the "Beasts of Burden" program, visitors will have the opportunity to see two teams of oxen
working a field to prepare it for planting. The tools that will be utilized are a plow, cultivator and harrow of the time
period.
