More history ...

 More of the wonderful old furnishings of the Mendenhall house.
 Corner cupboard - built for this corner!
  Made me grateful for my bed!
 More fun Quaker words!
 Original barn - called a Bank Barn - note the overhang.  There are other outbuildings - well house, carriage house, blacksmith shop, corn crib and the yard where there was a tannery.
 False bottom wagon - used on the underground railroad to transport "precious cargo"...one of only two remaining - this one is documented and authentic.
This would have been our 'family van' - in the olden days!   This is a Studebaker station wagon - brought passengers from the station to the hunting lodge.
