The Stangeland Family Cabin
This is the cabin Ernest Stangeland built on Brack and Maudie Hudson's land for his wife Lucille Stangeland and sister-in-law Lillian Pleasant to live in while Ernest and Lillian's husband Jim Pleasant were away serving during World War II. Lucille, Janice and Michael Stangeland and Lillian and Tresia Pleasant lived here from 1944 to 1949. When he was home on leave, Ernest built toys and play areas for the kids around the cabin. Later on Brack moved the cabin several feet and attached it to the side of his own.
