Wooden wheels: Monochrome Monday

These wooden wheels are featured in a display at Baker Heritage Museum in Baker City, Oregon. This museum offers visitors glimpses of everyday objects from another time.

  • Amazing to think that there was a time when this was considered the pinnacle of technological advancement!

  • My grandparents crossed the state of Texas in a wagon in the 1920's. Reminds me of their time. Love the sepia tone you took with this image. :)

      • They were married 64 years, just shy of 65 by a month when my grandfather passed away. That was 1989. They were poor and my great-grandfather didn't approve. My grandmother ran off at 17, lied about her age and married my grandfather. :)

          • Yes it certainly did! :) They were only 6 months apart in age. He died at age 82. We thought she would be shortly after, but she lived almost another 10 years. A week from her 92 birthday. It will be 20 years since she passed on December 18th this year. I miss them! :)
