The cottages were scattered among pine trees. They were only open on Sundays from noon to 4:00 p.m. Lawn programs on a small stage were performed only from March through October, and featured music, dance, traditional costumes.

The cottage for the country of the United States was just being set up as the rain began to end. Other countries were under full operation by this time.

The stage was set up and a performance was underway. The featured countries that day were the Czech and Slovak Republics. The rain had just ended so the crowds were still thin.

Inside the Cottage for the country of Ireland was an exhibit of porcelain and glass goods. Here was a porcelain heart with a tartan ribbon as part of the design.

The polish cottage had traditional treats for sale. Such as poppy seed kolache in a package of three for a dollar.
