Root Cellar - 2004
Root Cellar - 2004
Before refrigerators, farmers used root cellars to store potatoes, onions and cabbage in a cool place. Dug into the ground and walled with rocks from the surrounding cliffs, this root cellar probably provided a cool place to escape from the midday summer heat as well. In the early autumn morning light, the cellar stands as testament for how tough the pioneer life must have been.
