January 31, 2009 Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: Guy B. Woodward Museum, Ramona, San Diego County, California The Guy B. Woodward Museum AKA Ramona Pioneer Museum is located at 645 Main Street in Ramona, San Diego County, California.   Vi camperede på en sidevej i Ramona i dag, og vi besøgte Ramonas lokalhistoriske museum, Guy B. Woodward museet. Museet har til huse i Ramonas allerførste beboelseshus, som er et sommerhus bygget af Theophile Verlaque i 1886. Museet er opkaldt efter en uvedkommende herre, Guy Burton Woodward, som tog initiativ til at grundlægge det. We day camped down a side road in Ramona today and visited Ramona's local history museum, the Guy B. Woodward museum. The museum is housed in Ramona's first residence, a vacation home built by Theophile Verlaque in 1886. The museum is named for an unrelated gentleman, Guy Burton Woodward, who was instrumental in establishing it.     Theophile Verlaque var en fransk immigrant, født i 1832, som var kommet til San Diego i 1870 med sin kone Elizabeth Cline. Familien Verlaque kom efterhånden til at tælle seks børn (tre drenge og tre piger). Theophile Verlaque was a French immigrant, born in 1832, who had come to San Diego in 1870 with his wife Elizabeth Cline. Eventually the Verlaque familie counted six children (three boys and three girls).     Jeg var helt og aldeles vild med mosaikvinduet i terrassedøren. I completely and utterly loved the stained glass window in the patio door.

Udenom Verlaque huset står kopier af adskillige gamle bygninger fra den nærmeste omegn. Around the Verlaque house are replicas of several old buildings from the area around Ramona.         Theophile Verlaques ældste søn, Amos, var den første til at bygge i Ramona, som dengang hed "Nuevo." I 1883 åbnede han et posthus og en landhandel her, fordi stedet lå på diligenceruten mellem San Diego og Julian. Theophile Verlaque's oldest son, Amos, was the first to build in Ramona, then known as "Nuevo." In 1883 he opened a post office and a general store here on the route of the Butterfield stage between San Diego and Julian.
