This 1880 relic cabin, given to the History Farm last year, would be familiar to Ukrainian immigrants from the Russian-Ukrainian Pale of Settlement, as would the Little Red
Preschool that housed John Brun, son of a Jewish physician who fled the Pale’s pogroms; as did the Pale’s Farm, Preschool, and Gardens’ Patroness Sheila’s grandmother: this cabin’s dimensions are exactly those of Mosenkis’ celebrated painting of Sarah (Teplitzky) Tipp’s Ostropol home once southwest of Kiev. By adding a thatched roof, we will pay tribute to the melding of the northwest Pale’s Jewish pioneers’ architecture with so many other cultures’, creating America where we honor our past rather than destroy it, living freely and happily with people of all beliefs, using the Earth, and caring for it.
