More Frisco CO historic park

[RGINN]

The town had the foresight to save a lot of historic structures and move them to a park along Main Street. They're furnished mostly like they would have been in their era. They've crammed in a lot of extra stuff that wasn't there in the original setting, but you get the idea. So much to look at, and I always see something new. I did not recall Calumet Baking Powder coming in that big of a can, but they had one. I'm familiar with the smaller cans as they were popular for making into rattles for use at powwows in Oklahoma.

Neato! The stove on the left, in the second photo looks exactly like the stove my grandparents had when they homesteaded here in Montana.

The one on the left is like the Cadillac of wood stoves to me, old digger. The one on the right is more like what I remember my family using. That probably came in on the railroad when it finally got here and I imagine the lady of the house was tickled to death to get it.

When I moved to Leadville in the 70s, they had just shut down the working girls establishment that was above the Pioneer bar maybe 3 years before. In Nevada the lights are on round the clock. I had a CB in the past and you could hear the girls calling out to the truckers to come on by for some free hot coffee, friendly conversation and with no obligation. Just stop on by and have a look.

My daughter-in-law's parents STILL use a wood burning stove. They are off the grid and live in the mountains near here. They had a microwave at one point but got rid of it. You wouldn't believe the delicious, chewy dinner rolls she bakes in that oven. They are retired but make extra money selling veggies, eggs and fruit at the farmer's market all summer. We sold them a couple calves a while back that they raised and butchered themselves. I lived with my grandmother for nearly a year and all she had was a wood stove also. Those old stoves have a place in history similar to that of the old locomotives.
