Corn cribs housed the family's most important crop. Corn fed humans and livestock. Families consumed it both fresh and as cornmeal cooked into dishes such as mush and cornbread.

After allowing corn to dry on the stalk, farmers stored it on the cob. The crib provided protection against weather and large animals.

Almost every farm had a corn crib. Some combined a crib and a gear shed, where the farmer also stored tools and implements.
