Old time living



This was an original homestead from this area. Lived in until the 1950s and moved to be preserved. The cedar slab house is what a lot of natives lived in and also early homesteaders and loggers. It is take from a sawn down Cedar and hollowed out and a roof put on and is cozy. They did make bigger ones where they cut cedar slabs as tall as was necessary and put them together and added a roof and a have a new home.
These now have a home at the Stanwood Fairgrounds and are used as a museum and a fun place for kids to hid and then have their pictures taken. I think the date on the cabin is 1888.
