(Le Mars) — For the seventh year, the Plymouth County Historical Museum will host “Cabin Days” as a way to honor both log cabins located on the museum grounds, and to reflect upon the area’s history at around the 1800’s to early 1900’s. Cabin Days is scheduled for this Saturday, October 2nd, and according to Plymouth County Historical Museum Administrator, Judy Bowman, the festivities are scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m.
With regards to the book, Bowman says a brief program will be led by the book’s author, Greg Severson as he discusses his book entitled: “Druids of Le Mars.”
Bowman reminds people that all five floors of the Plymouth County Historical Museum will be open during the entire afternoon. The museum official speaks of the stories and of the history of the two cabins setting on the museum grounds.
Bowman says about the Joy Hollow cabin that it at one time served as a servants quarters, before becoming a cabin for Girl Scouts.
Bowman also shares the story behind the civil war era Weber Cabin.
Bowman says when the museum had acquired the old Central school as it’s new home, then shortly after, in 1983, the Weber Cabin was moved to its present day location. Bowman says there will be people dressed in period-era costumes that will be attending the cabin days festival on Saturday.
