Thread Name: Review: PBS series 'Frontier House'
Subject: RE: Review: PBS series 'Frontier House'
The cabins and artifacts from the project are being moved to Nevada City, Montana, where they will be on display. Virginia and Nevada city are authentic old Montana towns, with the old buildings preserved. It seems odd to me to put these new log cabins in that location. I would have liked them to go to go to the reservation for people to use. If you didn't see the earlier part of the series, there was a deer shot and donated by a native American whose ancestors were the inhabitants of that area until homesteaders came and took it over. Because there is no restriction on their hunting, they did supply a deer and show the families how to skin and butcher it. The Indian who brought the deer then gave them some valuable history lessons.
There is a website for the Frontier House "museum". You can find it with a Google search.
