Yesterday afternoon we embarked on an adventure. This time we headed south (but only after stopping in Lyons for driving treats) to Brownsville to visit the Linn County Pioneer Museum. Here's the link:
The weather was warm and sunny and there were lambs by the hundreds in the fields along the route. We only sighted one bald eagle this journey. Sort of a let down from the 8 we saw last year about this time. I would love to visit Brownsville another day and enjoy a bit of antique and yarn store shopping. Probably without Sarah.
The original seat from the Brownsville train depot. See Grandpa in the background? Grandpa and Grandma Jacoby met us for the tour.
A genuine covered wagon that made the trip across the Oregon Trail. One of 3 originals still in existence.
Hmmm. Looks a little familiar.
Sarah liked this perambulator.
This was a model wagon that kids could pretend to pack. Sarah played with this for a long time.
This is definitely worth the trip, though little kids won't be too entertained by the museum. I think we all came away with some new knowledge about Linn County. After all, isn't that what museums are for?
