44 Oxen Moving an Historic
Why are you reporting this puzzle?
Teams of oxen help pull the Orleans County Grammar School on Monday in Brownington, Vt. Hundreds of people showed up to watch the building, built in 1823, move back to its original site.
The 105-ton timber-frame school building was moved Monday up a hill by an engine on the back of a barge-like rolling platform that filled both lanes of the narrow country road. The 44 oxen, well, they were there more for show and to give the 900 or so onlookers a feel of what it might have been like to move the house back in the day.
