A Walk In Old Town


Yesterday I walked along Ruston Way to look at some of the trees. This is the Slavonian Hall. Along the way was Bilanko's Store long ago. When I was brought in to see Bilanko's Store with my mother, in the upper area above the counter was a big skein of twine - the packages were wrapped with this. There is a reconstruction of a historic log cabin which recreates the earliest settlers here. The Slavonian Hall recreates a different group, the Slavs and Finns and others who immigrated and lived here from the end of the nineteenth century.
