The Kiesling House will be demonstrating the chore of laundry. As adults we have daily and weekly chores and one of those is the dreaded wash day set aside for doing laundry. Can you imagine what it would be like to not have a washer and dryer or even a laundromat to go to? Without washers and dryers, we would have to clean our clothes by hand. Back in the days before washing machines came along women used washboards. Even with the use of washboards, laundry day was still a very strenuous task and required a great deal of effort and time. This presentation complements the regular programming which includes a guided tour, a video presentation and exhibits. Explore the past at The Historic Kiesling House, constructed in 1861, and learn about the Kiesling family that built the house. The family and their house survived the US-Dakota War of 1862. The house is the only wood-framed house from that era remaining in Brown County.
