The bed is hand made with lathe turned posts. This style is not rope tension although the pegs visible on the side rail gives that appearance. This bed had a canvas stretcher that laced into the pegs. The straw mattress sits on that, not on ropes. The quilt is a reproduction of a "Rose of Sharon Variation" quilt in the Museum collection. The quilt was made by the Heritage Quilt Study Group. The mattress, although not visible, is an original straw filled one from the collection.

Sitting on the floor against the north wall art two soapstone foot warmers. These would have been heated in the fireplace and then placed at the foot of the bed before retiring in the evening.

There is a boot jack under the bed and an antelope skin in front. This would allude to all of the hunting of game going on the in the area in the 1860s.

The myriad of trunks is to convey the idea that the McCormicks had traveled to Prescott and were still without all the furniture that they might like.

The washstand is pine. The stoneware pitcher and bowl are Victorian, but cannot be positively dated to the 1860s. There is a bone handled toothbrush which still has a few of the original hog bristles left in it. On the bottom shelf is a reproduction of a chamber pot retrieved from a privy at Ft. Larned National Historic Site in Kansas that dated to the 1860s
