The Westcott Dash Churn was patented in 1865, and by 1867 the H.P Westcott Adjustable Dash Churn was being marketed! 🧈🧺 The retail price for a 1 gallon churn was $16! That's a little over $320 in today's dollars 😮❗️

Here's a little throwback (not on a Saturday😆)! Seneca Falls in the past was full of all different industries! For a while, women were ❗ hand painting ❗ globes for the American Globe Supply that started here in town! How neat!

If you swipe you can see the design patent for the miniature globe paperweight! 🌎✨

Gould's made a very helpful pamphlet in 1904 to help guide people in how to tend to their crops! Using their own pumps, obviously, they explained what type of pump was best for each spray. The booklet was several pages long, but here are a few to look at! 🌿🌱🍅

✨Another fun fact! ✨ Susan B Anthony wrote this speech alongside suffragist Matilda Joslyn Gage. Susan B also lead the National Woman Suffrage Association from 1888 until 1900. Sadly, the 19th amendment wasn't passed until 1920, so she (and many other supporters) never got to see it through ☹️
