Fresno Scraper

The Fresno Scraper - an implement that you hitch up to a horse and then it drags across the path to smooth it out, for making a road. My uncle says my grandpa used one of these on Abuelita's property back in 19quaco, to clear a roadway.

This scraper is at the Bowers Mansion in Nevada, on the way to Carson City. We visited there recently after leaving Reno. It was an interesting place, and I got to learn about my own family history as well.
