| The Menkenmair Cabin is the
only remaining log cabin in the valley. It has a rather tragic history.
Once the home of George & Hazel Menkenmair and their two children,
Beatrice and Boots, it remained unoccupied for many years. Hazel
was killed by a runaway accident while raking hay and George died of a
fatal illness a short time later. The children were cared for by
friendly neighbors. Young Boots became a professional rodeo rider
and became quite well known, but was killed in a rodeo accident at an early
age. Beatrice married a local rancher and moved into a home of her
own. She gave permission to move her childhood home to the
Village. |
