1856 Horse-Powered Cox and Roberts Threshing Machine (Kelley Farm Minnesota)

Threshing the grain harvest was the culmination of an entire growing season's toil. Farmhands would bring grain bundles in from the fields, thresh the grain which would separate the grain from the straw. This shows an actual 1856 horse-powered Cox and Roberts threshing machine.
