Description

B/W photograph of a group of men and boys on a farm. An early 20th century steam engine appears to be employed in milling lumber near a large barn and other outbuildings. "LEPPO" and "WHITE OAK FARM" can be read on the barn. Clothing and vehicles pictured suggest that this photograph was taken in the 1950s, well after such steam engines were in practical usage, suggesting that this is an exhibition of some kind.
