Wheels Across The Prairie - Cedar Roof

In 1884, two brothers, John and Bart, passed Bear Lake, which had an abundance of good timber and decided to establish a homestead.
The cabin itself is 20x24 with a second floor was considered big for its time. The lime used for chinking came from a kiln in Lake Sarah Township, and the sand came from Bear Lake. This homestead eventually became the Lowville Township and the home of the American Fur Company. The cabin is currently on display at the Wheels Across the Prairie Museum in Tracy, MN.
