Jonita Sommers (sitting, with green coat) explains interesting details about local homesteading and tie hacking history. Jonita's family has been on this ranch for over 100 years. The old 2-story log homestead house was used until the 1970s. For the last years it served as a bunkhouse for the hay crew. The family has donated an acre of land and many of the old ranch buildings to be a part of the homestead living history site. It will be a place where people can touch things, learn how they worked, and do fun experiments to learn how things were like for the people who lived during the homestead time period. |
