This is the Pepin Train Depot Museum that I told you about yesterday.
Train sign for the Pepin Train Depot Museum.Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum in Pepin. It is so interesting to go through these museums and see the things people used in their everyday life in that period. 
Below is a lantern like Laura described in her Little House books. The lantern held a candle and the slits let the light shine through. They used these to work outdoors when milking or doing other chores.
Very early typewriter. A little more complicated to use than our computers.
I am sure every housewife would want one of these wringers. Wringing by hand is hard on the hands and back.
I have been having fun looking through my pictures. I enjoyed the trip so much but it sure felt good to come home. I guess that is the way it always is with trips.
