The Minter

Farm in Inman, Ga. has hosted Inman Farm Heritage Days for the past five

years. Visitors to the farm get a chance to see the way a farm used to

look. There are antique tractors and engines, a cotton gin, hay baling,

a saw mill, a grist mill and a blacksmith on site, as well as arts and

crafts exhibits, food, music and Miss Quinny's restored 19th century log

cabin.

New to the

area around the cabin is a living history farm animals display. The 1917

Aultman-Taylor steam traction engine also has a new display area on the

grounds. The special feature will be a Red Power Roundup for Georgia International

Harvester Collectors presented by Georgia Chapter #29 I-H Collectors.
