If you find yourself in north eastern Washington, don't miss the
Tiger Historical Center and Museum. This was once the Tiger Store, a mercantile that sat at a crossroads in a community spread up and down the Pend Oreille River, ranch-land and railroad line. Today it preserves area history and sells pop to those traveling the Selkirk Loop Scenic Byway. Give their page a "like" on
Facebook! It helps small history centers like this to stay on the map.
Linking up with
Abracabadra for Wordless Wednesday, I'm sharing my photos from the Blacksmith Shop set behind the Tiger Store. My husband was as mesmerized, which allowed me ample time to explore the saddles and desks and photos inside the Museum.
