Today was the last day the Oulu Cultural and Heritage Center in Bayfield County for the season until next spring. The historic site has 10 buildings and exhibits on the Finnish culture. Today there was special demonstrations, Finnish food and music. When this Pudas house was under construction in 1899, a tornado picked up the house and settled it eight feet from its original site. The religious John Pudas left the house in the new location with a new foundation as he believed that “God meant it to be there”. As one of the largest buildings in early Oulu, it became the site of community events.
