The Cart Sheds were added to the 1831 farm buildings either in the late 1800's or early 1900's. The timbers were even then second hand and probably obtained from buildings that were demolished that existed on the site prior to 1831, the date when the present farm was built.
Looking at the timbers one can see slots and holes that formed tongued and grooved joints and holes for wattle and daub wall posts. As the name suggests, they were used for housing the farm wagons and carts although one bay had been used as the farm carpenters area at some stage.
The museum uses the sheds for both housing carts and wagons but also a place for restoring them.
The pictures shows the restoration of one of the carts, a lightweight cart used by the family to go to market as well as part of a massive timber wagon, under restoration, used for hauling large tree trunks.
