My family packed this famous cottage full of memories made from years before I can remember. Standing tall, the light blue A-frame sits on a small lake surrounded by a dense woods, with cranes as loud as the morning’s alarm. However, this cottage on the lake feels of peacefulness and love, throughout all the noise. Every July, Grandma, Grandpa, my…

President Lincoln developed the Emancipation Proclamation while living at the Cottage in the summer of 1862. For many years that fact was recognized and appreciated.

My field placement at the Western Homes has officially came to an end. During my time at Nation and Thuesen Cottage I have learned an incredible amount of information about gerontology social work. At my field placement, I had many responsibilities. Mainly I visited with the residents and gave them a form of socialization and built relationships with them.

There was the option of either outdoor or indoor dining, and it was such…
