Prairie Village



While driving through Baraboo, WI, I passed this replica of a typical prairie village. It was closed, but I was able to walk around and take a ton of pictures. The next day, I happened to pass by it and it was open, so I stopped in again. I had a personal tour of all the buildings and museum that took nearly two hours. All of the buildings were located within 30 miles of the village's current site. Some were dismantled and put back together here. Others were moved intact. 


The Blacksmith's Shop:

The Church. Inside, it had a working pump organ:
And what church is complete without a cemetery. This one is just for show, though. No one is buried here.
The schoolhouse:
Pictures of the inside of one of the cabins. I am surprised they came out so good because I took them through the windows.
