Look at the size/length of this tank. As we were travelling on I-94 across the state we saw many tanks like this, some not quite so big. Any idea what they are used for? We followed the tank down the street towards the interstate but got hung up in traffic behind him so couldn't get pictures of it as they were making the turns, etc. Would have been interesting to see the turns.
At Bonanzaville, Bill concentrated on the old cars and farm equipment in his photos. Here is the old form of school bus transportation. What do you think the kids of today would do if they had to ride to school in this?
An old stagecoach and covered wagon. Neither of them looked very comfortable to me. No AC.
A horse-drawn hearse from the Fredrikson & Brakke funeral home of Davenport, ND. In front are a couple of coffins from back then.
Here's a close-up of the small coffin. Note that there is no cover for the face. Creepy wouldn't you say.
From the Thue-Brink Store from Horace, ND which was built in 1896. Note how they stored the various beans and rice.
This is from either the Houston House or the Hagen House (not sure). Either way these folks were quite wealthy back then. In front is a huge cast iron stove.
Note the crib in the bedroom (no separate nursery back then).
This (I know) is the summer kitchen which was behind the main house of the Hagen house. It was built in 1897 near Horace, ND and four generations lived there without electricity or indoor plumbing.
The kitchen in the main house.
Informal dining area in the kitchen.
Main living room. Note there's a piano in the corner. Very important back then.
This was in the Forness or the Habberstad cabin. Note a typewriter and an organ. It was a small cabin but they made room for these things. It also had a sewing machine (out of sight).
Another sample of a kitchen from back then.
