The Old Crooked Door

I came across this old and abandoned building which at first looked like it had two front doors. A closer inspection however, captured in this image shows a crooked frame for a door, but no door handle. About 10 feet to the right was a door with a handle. This old building is located in Shakopee, Minnesota and is part of The Landing, a unique living history museum that preserves and interprets 19th century life in the Minnesota River Valley. The idyllic wooded setting that stretches along one and a half miles of scenic river valley brings alive the charm and challenges of life in the 1800's. Families, history buffs and adventurers of all ages can step in this historic village, which features the rich diversity of early American life. Visitors can stroll through the site or ride on horse drawn trolleys. Their journey will cover the early days of the fur trade era when people traveled by footpath and canoes, to the bustling village with its shops, homes, church, town hall and railroad depot. Throughout the historic site, costumed interpreters are prepared to spin a tale, demonstrate their craft and explain the daily life of men, women and children. Music and entertainment often fill the village routine.
