Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits
After harvest and while still on the cob, corn was placed in the Crib to dry and be stored. The Crib, constructed around 1850, had no chinking between the logs allowing air flow to promote drying.
Corn was an essential component in the enslaved worker's diet and could also be used as livestock feed. The Crib was moved to this location from elsewhere on the plantation
