Hop on the bus and let’s go.

There’s the historical marker explaining that the cabin was relocated to the city hall area in 2011. It is over 150 years old.

Vintage farm equipment around the cabin.

Artifacts from the era.

Looking back toward the stove and at the ladder to the second story. Note that the cabin had three doors, which provided plenty of ventilation.

A close-up of more artifacts. Great needlepoint, but spelling not so much.

The old rocker and cane. The framed photos are of members of the Historical Society at various functions in the cabin.

Now it’s time for food and music. I hope you have a great week.

    I love visiting sites/building like this, John. I’m glad they moved it and are taking good care of it.

    Mushroom Swiss burgers are my favorite.

        Thinking about it made my apple and yogurt seem pretty bland.

    It’s really good that Lakeway relocated the Liebelt cabin and set it up for a historical display for the population to see, John. Your photos and words are nice information for us.

    JOHN,

    I really like these old cabins and equipment. Amazing how a family could live in this place. Looks like maybe 8 feet square. I guess the beds were up the ladder – yikes for an old guy quite a feat. The needlework looks good too. I didn’t see any spelling errors. Did I miss them ? Glass and China look okay. But overall a great post. Thanks for your efforts.
