For our parents and grandparents, some things were so much harder. Yet, other things were easier because they were less complicated. Moving day is never easy for anyone, but these old photos show us what it was like to move for past generations. Average folks had fewer belongings in general, but had to haul their cast iron stoves from place to place. They also sometimes had to move using a team of horses. Even after cars were everywhere, there wasn’t a moving truck rental place just down the street. Check out what moving day was like back then.
