Shields Ethridge Living History Farm, Georgia

Visit this historic Georgia farm and see up close how a grist mill and cotton mill worked in the 1800's. Joe visits Shields Ethridge Farm in Jefferson, Georgia with Gene England. This farm was started in 1802 by Joseph Shields and passed down to his son James and then grandson Joseph Robert. His great granddaughter Susan Shields then took over along with her husband Ira Ethridge. The farm is still a working farm and we see an interview with Susan Ethridge Chaisson (6th generation). Currently relatives from 8th generation are living on the farm. The farm now houses the original Commissary Store Grist Mill School and Teacher Quarters Cotton Gin Saw Mill We first visit the commissary which is stocked with old merchandise from food, auto parts, machine parts to tobacco cutter, mule muzzle, bits, bridles, collars and small plow. Then on the to grist mill where Gene shows us how it works step-by-step. Starting with the corn sheller, sifter and storage box. Gene then explains exactly how the grinder works and us adjusted, It is run by an old F-30 Farmall engine which also runs the planer in the saw mill. We then move on to the corn crib, which was built up off the ground. Most farmers had trouble with rats so they built the crib up off the ground and housed hogs underneath. The hogs would root out and teat the rats. We see a nice shot of the mule barn, build from timbers as well as blocks made right on the farm. Gene then shows us the Loomis Cotton Gin. He explains how the incoming wagons were weighed, cotton vacuumed out, seeds separated, hulled and spit out. The hulls were used for cattle roughage and the seeds could be saved for planting or ground to meal and also fed to livestock. We see footage of the extensive duct systems for the complicated process. Lastly we talk to Susan about the work they are doing to document the farm and its history. They will eventually turn these over the the University of Georgia for all to view and study. Visit the farm in Jefferson, Georgia from April through October. http://shieldsethridgefarminc.com/ #historicalfarm #livinghistoryfarm #heritagefarm #cottonmill #ginmill
