John, thanks for your comment. I can only go with the information provided by the articles and other sources. Who where the Ostlunds and when were they in Pine River, MN.

That is the old Ostlund home, which was the first home moved to that site. It was actually put on the foundation backwards, and the front door was located on the other side in the middle. You can actually see where the door was when looking closely at that back wall. I doubt that it orginally looked anything like that inside. Nor did it look like that on the outside. That home was never lived in as a log cabin – it had vertical wood siding originally, and a smoker attached to the side.
