Pioneer Village Snapshots






These are three snapshots from our outing to a pioneer village in another town. The first shot is of a bedroom (notice the champber pot) in a two-story log house featured two separate living units, with a dog run converted to a hallway in between. There is a common kitchen the length of the lower floor, two sitting rooms, and two bedrooms upstairs, accessed by a very narrow staircase with a handrail only on one side. Mother was not able to go upstairs, of course. In compliance with current policies, though, there is a ramp outdoors, leading into the house. But this is the only structure that has a ramp. Hopefully, others will be added in time. The second photo shows a vintage hat and dress (or night dress), as well as a quilt on the bed. The third photo is a garden arrangement, using ladder back chairs with woven seats.
