Loucks' Farm and Rail Fences

Loucks' farm is the main example of a prosperous 1860's farm at Upper Canada Village.

There was a yard around the main house, but the front door still overlooked the grainfield. Large boulders would have been incorporated into the fences, rather than being moved.

And there are snake rail fences, the zigzags faster to build than a straight rail fence,

but taking up more room as well.
