Before we went into the Badlands, we came across the Prairie Homestead Visitor Center.
This was the original Homestead of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Brown, built in 1909. The structures on the homestead were log buildings with grass-sod roofs and dirt floors.
This is the kitchen/dining area. There were 2 bedrooms. Actually seemed livable, maybe.
The root cellar was built in the ground with the grass-sod roof. The room was cool in the summer to store milk and vegetables and warm in the winter to keep same from freezing.
Yes, this is the outhouse. I had to use the facilities, but this hayseed wouldn't leave. It was a 2-seater????
This is the chicken coop. I was held prisoner for a few minutes, but I felt safe against any fox attacks. Ha Ha. There was a barn also that had chickens and horses for us to pet.
Joe was able to get a bucket of water from the outside pump.
The fields were occupied by these adorable white prairie dogs.
The goats were really friendly. Joe fed them and the horses with greens that he picked. They loved him. I shelled a corncob and fed the chickens. They loved me.
