Description
Dust Bowl Dinner Table by Debra Martz In the kitchen of the Dust Bowl house, the dishes are set facing down so that the surfaces of the plates that people would eat off wouldn't become covered with dust. The dust storms were so severe in the 1930s that the dust would find its way inside people's homes even with windows and doors closed.
"The dust bowl house was first the Liberty School House west of Boise City between Felt and Wheeless Oklahoma. It was closed for several years and Clarence Roberts bought it for his brother in law and his family, They divided it into three rooms and lived there thru the dust bowl years. In 2014 Troy Baker offered it to the Cimarron Heritage Center and it became their dust bowl house."
The museum in located in Boise City, Oklahoma.

Thank you! Every room was displayed as it would have been during those years of the dust bowl.
