Basketry on the Brazos
.: In 1850s Texas, it was a quite common sight to see people harvesting green sap-laden trees to turn into baskets. Baskets were the most convenient way to carry things, be it a small basket to carry a lunch or a large bushel basket to carry the cotton that was picked. Join Barrington Farm personnel as they go through the process of pounding a green log into baskets splits, and help them weave those splits into baskets that will be used on the farm throughout the year.
