Above, lovely cast iron wood-burning stove with enamel oven doors and nickel trim. The table cloth is a red and white checkered gingham that goes well with the cheerful yellow walls. An authentic rag rug on the floor, typically woven with the families discarded clothing, creates a comfortable atmosphere. To the left is a sink with a hand pump as the water vehicle.
Next picture is in the same kitchen– Wonderful wooden Hoosier-style work station with expandable metal work shelf, built-in flour bin, and Art Nouveau leaded glass cabinet windows. In the background is a 1900s pantry.
This 1900s kitchen is open during the Old Thresher’s Reunion in Mt Pleasant, Iowa.
