If you could Travel back in Time....

 ...it might look something like this--
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Nisqually

Ft. Nisqually was the first European settlement in Puget Sound

 A store in the 1800's was the COSTCO of it's day---
if they didn't have it, you didn't need it !

The Factor's House (Manager) is one of the two
 surviving buildings from the original Fort

 We learned how to sew a button and some fabric
 into a cute little pin-on decoration

They had a Vegetable garden and live Chickens--

 If you wanted to buy something, like a Hudson's Bay blanket,
you'd have to trade for it with Beaver pelts --

The Granary (Grain storehouse) is getting a new roof--
it's the only other original building from the Fort,
and the oldest building in Puget Sound
