There is a sweet little museum in Bothell, Washington with three buildings; a house, a cabin, and a schoolhouse. I plan to shine a light on this little gem with pictures in three parts, possibly four. I have a lot of picture inside the house. I'll start with the cabin.
THE BECKSTROM LOG CABIN
 |
| Andrew & Augusta Beckstrom built this cabin in 1884 |
 |
| I have to wonder about these fellows. I can't tell what the stars are for. Could this be the local law enforcement? |
 |
| This high chair is adorable! Although it doesn't look very comfortable. |
 |
| I love this stove. It looks rather fancy for a cabin. |
These last three picture were from a storage area to the left of the front door. Looks like farming stuff and things that might have gone in a barn.
I loved seeing all the various items inside this cabin. I tend to think in terms of the bare minimums; table & chairs, bed with pillows & a quilt, a cooking stove, dishes, lamp, shotgun, firewood, and not much more.
But just look at the the things! There's a grinding wheel in the background of one of the pictures, a treadle sewing machine with what looks like a space heater under it, an iron & ironing board, a washboard & wringer, and a myriad of other things. Some of the stuff I don't even know what it is.
I could look at these pictures for hours and probably not see everything.
