A foxxy move
Winding fox tracks cross The Bekkum Homestead in hopes of finding a rabbit. The house was built by Paul Engum and Martinus Haugen. The current building is actually made up of two houses. The houses were built in Timber Coulee in 1867 and 1890 and moved to their current location in 1982. Generous support from locals provided most of the artifacts displayed inside, and the project was funded by the generous support of the Bekkum family — longtime residents. of Westby.

Frost in the Coulée
The wood of a Timber Coulee truss has received a coating of frost. The word hoar comes from an Old English adjective meaning “showing signs of old age”. The trees were covered in white hairs and a moose was spotted nearby.
