This is a barn built by Finns in Rerd Lodge, Montana. It was a dairy. The woman who owns it now, Kerrie Rochon, is not a Finn. She [Rochon] has done a great job of restoring it. It is a bar and gambling house. I have met lots of neat people who are restoring Finn buildings and keeping our heritage alive. Both Finns and non-Finns are doing this. I wish some American Finn group or Finnish government group would recognize their efforts and give them a “kiitos plaque.” cheers bob kisken.
Kiitos Kisken!
