Together, the Tjernagel family has a huge array of artistic skills. When not building fairy houses, Jonathan is building treehouses and ziplines. Kelsi is making photographs, writing, reading and volunteering with the Gallatin Watershed Council. Nora is sewing, designing costumes with local theatres and reading. August is fencing, biking, playing guitar, building birdhouses, making pottery, reading, and volunteering with the Gallatin Watershed Council. Their fairy village character is inspired by the real life Hallie Dagget who, in 1913, was the first woman hired as a fire lookout by the USFS. You can find Kelsi on
instagram and on
her website, and Nora on
