Sod House Museum Draws Thousands in Colby
HISTORY as taught in schools may be dull but exhibits reveal life as it was lived. The Sod House museum in Colby, built 1953, drew about 48,000 visitors last year and hosts 40 plus registered families. Visitors dress in old time clothes and pose for photos inside the house. The museum features tools, guns, utensils, clothing, and furnishings used by prairie homesteaders, and was covered in Ford Times with photos by the reporter.
