This photograph shows A.L. (Albert L.) Winterquist on a farm in front of a building and two cows, with farm machinery in the far right foreground. Probably this was Mr. Winterquist's farm, since John Junkkonen sold a 40 acre tract in section 27 to A.L. Winterquist. Mr. Winterquist built a two-story modern dwelling on this tract, adjacent to Highway 61.

The John Kangas log house shown here was built by Hanse Annala about 1898. There are a rake and several scythes hanging on the wall, with a washtub used for doing laundry on the far left of the photo. Originally the house had a birch bark roof. It was donated to the Finnish American Memorial Foundation of Esko - now the Esko Historical Society - and land was obtained for its current placement as a building of the museum in 1965.
