Sandburg kitchen

A vintage 1950\'s Kitchen with pie pantry, stove, two sinks, and

Using fresh vegetables from the garden and meat from the farm or market, all meals were prepared in this kitchen, with the family rarely having a meal out. 

This room only contained a sink and small counter when the Sandburg's moved in since the original kitchen to the home was in an adjacent building. Mrs. Sandburg had new metal cabinets, a refrigerator and even a dishwasher installed here. The oven came from their home in Michigan.
