This is "my" cabin -- Cienega Largo, a primitive one-room cabin. It was built in 1875 as a hunting lodge/line shack way back up in the mountains. In the mid 1900s, it was donated and relocated log by log down here to the valley.
It contains an eclectic assortment of very old homestead-type furnishings and tools.

My Dad's cabin is an old bunkhouse, built in the early 1900s out at the Shay Ranch for the cowboys. It's divided into four rooms: in addition to the bunkroom and kitchen displays, an old barbershop is set up in one of the rooms, and a saloon/poker game in the other one.
Howdy, pardner! Care for a sasparilla?

You look right at home! I bet you will meet all kinds of interesting people.
I've done living history village activities like that, too, back in Indiana and it's wonderful!
When I visited the States in 1991 my host family took me to Connor Prairie in Indiana which looks very similar - I was so impressed by all the volunteers acting in character - it was like stepping back in time - come to think of it looking at the quilts there is what woke my interest in them - now look where that's led me :o) It looks great fun to do Jeanne - I'm sure you and your dad will find it fascinating
what a fun thing for you and your dad to do together! i love it! awesome!
What fun! I love historical parks. I'd love to do something like that.
you are so cool :)
How fun is that! My son always loves a good museum like that - he absorbs it all in like a little sponge and I am always amazed at what he can remember from a few years ago (he will be 7 in 2 weeks). Glad you and your Dad are having fun together! Cheers! Evelyn
What great fun!
