Wood rail fence at Seneacquoteen winter of 1948. The rail fences were used to keep livestock from roaming. Rails were cut from small trees and could be built without nails or posts. The zig zag method of the split rail fence aids with stability. Photo by Margaret Phillips and courtesy of Bonner County Historical Museum.
