In Goldendale, Washington, attorney W.P. Presby had a three-story, 22-room house built in 1902. Over the years, the house was used as a family residence, a boarding house for school teachers and railway workers, and, since 1962, it has served as the Presby House Museum. The Children’s Room is a display in a second story bedroom.
Shown above is a velocipede—“A light carriage propelled by the feet and steered with a tiller, which was used by children of the early twentieth century as a tricycle is now used.”
