Offered in 0 more formatsThe Mount Baker Foothills Heritage Collection is a project of Washington Rural Heritage, a collection of historically significant materials residing in libraries, heritage institutions, and private collections throughout Washington State. The collection includes photographs, documents, and artifacts which tell the stories of Washington's small and rural communities. The Deming Library, a branch of the Whatcom County Library System, provides local management of this digitization program focusing on communities throughout the upper Nooksack River watershed and the foothills of Mount Baker in Washington's North Cascades.
The Nesset Family Farm Collection documents a Whatcom County pioneer family's century of land stewardship on their farmstead on the South Fork Nooksack River. The Nessets were one of many immigrant families that chose to settle in this area around the turn of the 20th century. Born and raised in Norway, Lars and Anna Nesset arrived on the farm in 1905, to a farmhouse that had been built in 1888 by cousin Lars Sinnes. Mr. and Mrs. Nesset raised five children while running a small dairy and documenting the many pleasures of settler life in the South Fork, including hiking and skiing on Mount Baker, and fishing on the Nooksack River. The Nesset Farm is one of the best remaining examples of an intact agricultural homestead in Western Washington. Many of the original buildings, including the farmhouse and barn, are being renovated as of this writing (2015) and will be open to the public when Whatcom County's newly established South Fork Park is completed.
