Thief River Falls

We took a day trip with Ben and Linnea to Thief River Falls, Minnesota. to have lunch and check out the pioneer museum. (Which chronicled the amazing accomplishments of Peder Englestadt--a pioneer man) and had neat stuff fromm the 1800's to the 1960's + to browse through.

above--the outside of the Evergreen Emporium where we had lunch--I think Linnea may have posted an interior picture--but here is one:


if you click the bigger pic isn't so dark.

Jason and his pal:-)




This was one of my favorite exhibits--the beauty parlor!

There was a print shop, phone switchboards, schoolhouse, swedish lutheren church, blacksmith shop, Pool Hall/ Candy shop, doctor's office, many pioneer cabins, a victorian style house, and many more things--whole buildings transported to a little "village" and a few large buildings with all kinds of OLD stuff to look at.

We love those kind of museums. Especially if they have a few dressed up docents.
Ben said it was a GREAT time!
