Artifact
Ames Portable Steam Engine, circa 1879
In the last half of 19th century, portable steam engines were a reliable and efficient power source for rural Americans. These engines were drawn by horses from one remote worksite to another, and powered threshing machines, mill equipment and other machinery. This Ames Iron Works portable steam engine was used on a farm in Eaton County, Michigan, into the first decades of the 20th century.
