Cook Wagon

During the 1880s, this wagon was used as a portable kitchen to prepare meals for field hands employed by the Kern County Land Company.

The wagon is equipped with a pantry for storing vegetables and bread, a sink, a work space with bins for flour and sugar and a room to hang meat.

The Kern County Land Company, founded by Lloyd Tevis and James Ben Ali Haggin, once owned vast expanses of land in Kern County.

The Kern County Land Company donated this cook wagon, once located on the Lakeview Ranch, to the museum in 1958.
