At the Rural Heritage Museum


Last weekend we drove to Washington County, Maryland. One place we visited was the Rural Heritage Museum, between Hagerstown and Antietam. It has a frontier farm set up in the back, and gardeners were there working.


A guide explained that the Reeder family built this cabin on their farm and lived in it while their larger house was built. Then this small cabin became a utility building where they did their laundry.

  2. I love that little cabin... but it would be very close quarters wouldn't it?
