Scythe left by Augustus Bliss of Blissville in 1862. Augustus Bliss hung this scythe in a young pine tree in 1862 and went to fight in the Civil War. He never returned. His father Milton Bliss, discovered the scythe a year or so later and from sentiment, he let the pine tree grow around the scythe, erecting a railing around the base of the tree. In the hurricane of 1938, the tree was blown down. A year or so later, Warwick historian Charles Morse became interested in the story of the scythe, found the felled tree and acquired it for the Town of Warwick.
Scythe located on wooden stand, south wall, room 1a
