Washington Island Part 2

Our second stop on our tour of Washington Island was at the Washington Island Farm Museum. We had very little time there, which was the hardest thing to me about being on a bus tour – you couldn’t stay as long as you wanted at the different places we stopped. There were nine buildings they had moved to the site from all over the island, filled with farming tools and implements and clothing from maybe around the turn of the century?, and we had about thirty minutes to visit. There were also animals for us to visit. Here is Meg getting acquainted with one of the cows 🙂

Lunch was in Nelsen’s Hall, a great old bar and grill that has been open for over a hundred years. I loved the walls that were made with the rings of tree trunks – and like everywhere in the area, the Scandinavian heritage (in this case, Vikings) was very apparent. And the cheeseburgers were really good 🙂
