Students try out the homestead teeter totter. This has been rebuilt from the original which was used by Jonita and Albert Sommers on the ranch in the 1960s. It uses tractor seats for sitting and broom handles to hang onto. The supports are wagon wheels and axle from an old wagon. The homestead playground includes a swing and a basketball hoop. Eventually a wagon wheel merry-go-round will be added. The homestead is a living history museum that attempts to give people of today a look at how families lived, worked and played on a ranch in the early 1900s in the Upper Green River Valley. |
