Not that long ago, Bend was still a logging and milling town. The cottage is located 2 houses from where one of the old mills operated until the 90's (this is why my family was able to live here...surprisingly this was not a sought after location). The museum is located in the original high school for Bend. A quick walk from the cottage across the river will allow you to step back in time a bit.
