Welcome to the Farmhouse Museum
After the animals won the rebellion, they burnt everything, but the Farmhouse. They kept the Farmhouse as a museum.
Hoof and Horn Flag
"The flag was green to represent the green fields of England, while the hoof and horn signified the future Republic of the Animals which would arise when the human race had been finally overthrown."

The Battle of the Cowshed
The Battle of the Cowshed was the animals' first fight against the humans. Mr. Jones, Mr. Fredrick, and Mr. Pilkington wanted to stop the rebellion from spreading. Mr. Jones was carrying a gun, and the rest of the men were carrying sticks. Snowball, with his clever planning and researching, won the battle. All the animals fought hard, especially Boxer, who killed a man with a single kick. Both Snowball and Boxer were awarded with "Animal Hero, First Class." They did lose one animal, a goat. This brave goat was awarded "Animal Hero, Second Class."

"Jones and all of his men, with half a dozen other from Foxwood and Pinchfield."

Even though Boxer fought hard and helped win the battle, he felt horrible about killing someone.
Jones' Gun
After the Battle of the Cowshed, Jones' gun was found on the ground. The animals fire the gun twice a year; October 12, the anniversary of the Battle of the Cowshed, and on Midsummer Day, the anniversary of the Rebellion.

"Beasts of England"
"Beasts of England, beast of Ireland,
Beasts of every land and clime,
Hearken to my joyful tidings
Of the golden future time.
Soon or late the day is coming,
Tyrant Man shall be o'erthrown,
And the fruitful fields of England
Shall be trod by beasts alone.
Rings shall vanish from our noses,
And the harness from our back,
Bit and spur shall rust forever,
Cruel whips no more shall crack.
Riches more than mind can picture,
Wheat and barley, oats and hay,
Clover, beans, and mangel- wurzels
Shall be ours upon that day.
Bright will shine the fields of England,
Purer shall its water be,
Sweeter yet shall blow its breezes
On the day that sets us free.
For that day we all must labour,
Though we die before it break;
Cows and horses, geese and turkeys,
All must toil for freedom's sake.
Beasts of England, beast of Ireland,
Beasts of every land and clime,
Hearken to my joyful tidings
Of the golden future time."
