Last summer Cheryl Elder, Maureen MacDonald and I spent four wonderful delightful days at the Fiske Genealogy Library under the helpful hands of Gary Zimmerman. One of the things he offered to us was a tour of the upper floors of the Fiske Library building…….where the various pioneer organizations house their treasures. These photo are of things in that upstairs museum room:
Did you ever (or, lucky you, do you today) get to sleep in a bed like this? Keep in mind that while it’s huge and grand, it’s only a small-ish double bed. Bet you wouldn’t like that.
Share your memories of “Grandma’s Feather Bed?” (Thank you, John Denver.)
yes, this was typical in older German homes when I lived there in the 60s – had two twin-sized in my apartment. And I had feather beds also. Every morning, the bedding would be hung out the window to air, before making up the bed.
Liked them so much, that I bought something similar when I came home. My headboard isn’t quite as tall – only 6′, but it sure brings back memories. Substituted a down duvet for the feather bed.
