Tallac Musings

1919 Pierce Arrow R-9 5 Ton Truck
First session is history.  Things are gearing up for more visitors, more programs, and more fun.  There are 4 five week sessions here at Tallac.  The first and fourth are basically work sessions.  Number one is opening up the site; taking the shutters down, uncovering the furniture, hanging the curtains and putting down the rugs and accessories and getting the grounds ready for visitors.  The fourth session is just the opposite.  It involves putting the items away, replacing the shutters, and just getting the place ready for the snow and cold winter.  Sessions two and three is running the site at full speed with programs and visitors going on everywhere.  Lots of confusion, lots of activities and lots of fun for everyone, vistors and volunteers alike. 


1949 International
   And that's where we are right now.  If only the weather would find out that summer is here.  The wind has come for a several day visit and it is cooling the temps and blowing the pine pollen around like dust on a gravel road.
