The sod house was especially interesting because we have been thinking a lot this past year about "tiny houses," and just how much room we really need to live in. The sod house is a classic small house. Here is what it looks like:

It's pretty cozy but entire families must have lived in these houses. They probably weren't furnished quite like this (e.g., I doubt they usually had a reed organ!).
