About the Bathroom:

For over 60 years, large families used the existing outhouse and wash tub. A pink bathtub was added around 1950, followed by a toilet and small sink a few years later. Today, you get to experience this piece of history as it has been for the past 70+ years - a charming reminder of simpler times.
