From Dubois County

Happy midweek, Reader,

There is a dog-powered butter churn at the Dubois County Museum.

It's not small. Imagine an inclined track about half the size of one found on your average small trackhoe. It's attached to a flywheel that works the dasher on the nearby churn.

Apparently, the apparatus was patented in 1871 in upstate New York and was marketed to dairy farmers for a short time.

I am working on a story about the museum and have spent some time wandering around the massive collection on display there.

If you haven't been out there, you should stop by. It's a great place to check out on a cold January day.

From Dubois County with love.

Matthew and Amy Crane
