Basket Making by Fred Scofield

The making of oyster baskets was an important industry in Poundridge from the mid-1800s through the turn of the century.  Over 80 Scotts Corners families were engaged in basket making at its peak.  This photograph of Fred Bennett Scofield (1866-1950) shows his basket shop.
