He and his family, Tracy, Lyndsay and Morgan, received three nights at the hotel as well as four two-day tickets to Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure. Pioneer: From PIONEER • A2 you get a sense that they were proud to live here even if they aren't smilingThe most interesting room to me is the laundry room. On display is a wringer washer, a boiler to heat water in, a round tub to bath in, a scrubbing board, homemade lye soap and I used all of these antiques. There are candle molds, but I never made my own candles. There is a full-size horse-drawn buggy that was used for transportation, also a full-size handcart that brought some of the residents to Spanish Fork after they had converted to the LDS church in lands across the ocean. They then walked across the plains to get to the Salt Lake Valley, and then south to our valley. If you didn't know about the museum or if it's been a long time since you have visited there, I would invite you to do so. If not for yourself then for your children or grandchildren who don't know what life in the late 1890s and early 1900s was like. It hasn't always been cell phones, Ipods, computers, automatic washers and dryers, fast cars, TV and videos. and kitchen accessories of the by-gone era. There are vases, cream pitchers, plates and small items. As we viewed these, we remarked how we remembered our Grandmothers having some of these very same items in their cupboard. There is a room where military artifacts are kept including uniforms of the various branches of service. Shaving mugs and other personal items that the men kept. There are old baby buggies, strollers, cribs, quilts and toys used by children which don't resemble what kids have today by any stretch of the imagination. Except for the dolls. There are several beautiful dolls such as the Shirley Temple doll which is easily recognizable. Young teen-age girls would be amazed at the big (and scary) machine that was used to give permanents by a local beautician. A far cry from today's curling iron and hair dryer. The walls in the museum are filled with pictures of the early settlers and most of the current residents of Spanish Fork, The museum is open who were raised here, would most assuredly find on Mondays from 10:30 some of their ancestors 'a.m.^-:30 p.m. and is also there. The pictures show available on other days by men and women dressed special appointment. Drop in their "best" dress and in-you'll be glad you did.
