| Summary: | This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 3rd edition, 2013, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 177: API's dairy barns, milk-collecting room (center), and silos were completed in about 1929. Fifty-six Jersey cows were milked twice daily in the 1940s. ... The API creamery used this milk, and that from five or six local dairies, to supply dining halls and customers in town with milk and ice cream. In 2012 on these grounds across Samford Avenue from the Auburn Athletic Complex, the new Ag Heritage Park honored Auburn University's contribution to agriculture.
