Beasts of Burden

 Saturday, March 15th, 2025 :: 10:00am - 4:00pm
 Barrington Plantation State Historic Site

Plowing the land was a quintessential 1850s farming skill! Livestock trained to work, such as horses, mules, and oxen, played a vital role in the operations of early Texas farms. Whether it was pulling plows, harrowing fields, hauling cotton, or cultivating corn, beasts of burden made light work of sometimes daunting tasks. Join Barrington Plantation and the Texas Draft Horse and Mule Association in a unique opportunity to experience draft animals at work! Various aspects of field preparation using horses and oxen will be demonstrated, with some hands-on opportunities. Activities are dependent on weather and soil conditions. Contact us at BarringtonPlantation@thc.texas.gov or 936-878-2214 x248 for more information.
