While the city life of Elizabethtown flourished, outlying areas were largely agricultural. One hundred fifty families tended 40,000 acres of farmland.
Life on the farm was demanding on all members of the family with taxing chores for the head of the household, the youngest of children and everyone in between. Farm families had to produce every necessity of life – shelter, food and clothing – while caring for their land, crops and animals. |
