Our 1930s Log Cabin exhibit as it looked decorated for Christmas, 2023.

Volunteer Anita Limbird worked her magic to transform the cabin's interior 

into scenes that a Tahoe family from the 1950s would have treasured.

Above is a view of the kitchen at left and living room at right. Note the tree decorated with handmade paper angels and garlands. 

At left and below, a bowl of popcorn is being strung for the tree.

Christmas dinner is being prepared. Children play card games and listen to the radio or records on the phonograph.

Below is the bedroom with a ladder to the loft. The bathtub is from the Sierra House stage stop.
