Historic sketch of a building being moved.  Note they used at least six yoke (pairs) of oxen.  Charles-Alexandre Lesueur (1778-1846). Le Havre (France), Muséum d’histoire naturelle. Starting at 9 am on Tuesday, July 29, 2025 (weather permitting) you will be able to see a similar scene when the Jackson Historical Society moves its Museum building (the old Jackson Town Hall) about 150 feet to a new location, albeit with modern equipment instead of oxen.  The building is all jacked up and ready to roll!
