Northern Georgia, Oconaluftee Visitor Center and Mountain Farm Museum, Corn Crib
A few years ago, my sister and brother-in-law moved into their retirement dream home which they built in Union County, GA just outside Blairsville. It is a small community with only 652 residents (as of the 2010 census) in town — Union County itself only has 21,566 residents or maybe two more now. Next on the tour is a corn crib. Corn was a very important crop since it fed both humans and livestock. When the corn initially ripened, it could be consumed on the cob as we often eat it today during the summer along side our burgers and steaks. Corn which has been in the field long enough for the kernels to dry out and become hard is fed directly to animals but can also be ground up and used to make corn bread, mush, etc.
