This photograph was taken in August 1983 at the Farmer’s Pig Roast on Marshall Erb’s property at Mill Street and Bauer Road. The circa 1912 Wood Bros. threshing machine was used on local farms to process grains by separating seed from stalks and husks. It belonged to the Hageman and Erb families before the Wheatland Plowing Match Association donated to Naperville Heritage Society in 2014. (Naperville Heritage Society/Naper Settlement)
