Description

The Thomas A. Schools barn raising in Littleton in the early 1900s. While planning, acquisition of building materials and the construction of the rafters was done beforehand, the barn itself was built in one day by neighbors who came from far and wide. The men worked on the barn and the women put on a big dinner for all the hands. The children played.

In this picture, they have gotten to the peak, not many workers can go that high.
