South Windsor Tobacco Barn
This tobacco barn was used in the 1900s. Tobacco was a major cash crop for the Connecticut River Valley. The tobacco leaves would hang over the rafters to dry hefore processing. Most tobacco barns still standing today are no longer at their original lengths. Some barns would stretch for 100's of yards but were later reduced to a small section of what they once were.
