McGuffey cabin107 viewsThe guy who brought us McGuffey Eclectic Readers which generations learned to read from was born in this tiny one room cabin. There was barely room to cook since the bed fills most of it. This is typical of most cabins on the frontier and does have a loft above where the children would sleep.

Henry Ford's first car111 viewsHenry left home at 16 and worked for Edison for 8 years. Evenings he studied and built his first car, the Quadricycle. Unfortunately, when he was done, he could not get it out of the building. He had to have a brick mason open the doorway up and then put it back once it was out. Oops!
