Our hertiage festival depicts local life from the early 1800's. An original homestead was taken apart and reconstructed on site. It's complete with a black smith and farm animals that are on display behind the museum. People from the historical society are dressed in period clothes and tell the story of how life was during that time. It was a hard life, but a very simple life. I think I should have been born during that era. I have such fascination for that period of time.
restored 1860's cabin
A family of 7 shared this small cabin, approximately 20' squared. The parents bedroom, fireplace, eating and living space was the main area of the cabin. The loft above is where their 5 children slept. The cabin was sparse, but adequate. Not like today where everyone has their own bedroom.
