Menck Log Cabin

Christmas on the plains of the Nebraska Territory could be very different than what settlers experienced in their former homes to the East. Friends and family gather together and create, as best they can, a festive holiday.

The year is 1861, and simplicity is the rule, but the stove is as warm as the company so be sure to stop by and witness how these hardy folks celebrate the season. You can join in the modest celebration by making a popcorn decoration and getting a look at holiday cooking!
