An interpreter uses a drop spindle to spin wool while she cooks dinner in the small 1845 Fossebrekke cabin in the Norwegian area. Note the steep stairway in the upper left and also the small pigpen behind the interpreter. Knud Fossebrekke brought his young pigs into the cabin to protect them from wild animals.
