Houses on Wheels
It is my hope that my book pays tribute to both the
Underground Railroad and to the history of house moving
and shares the spirit of a people deserving to be honored.
Hibbing, Minnesota pays tribute to the entrepreneurial
spirit of the American people in the early 1900s and to
house movers. And it’s not the only place to have many
houses moved. Yet I cannot tell more or it will spoil the
end of the story. All I can do is share photographs of
other historic house moves and then let you be surprised
by them and by the story.

the book with the Sarah’s fantasy house, and her
imaginary house figures into the story in important
ways. Maybe you or a child you know has an imaginary

Our House Move It was a day like no other as our
1906 house moved down the road. Here are
family photos that show our house we bought for
one dollar. It is remarkable what renovation, hard
work and paint color can do to an old house!
