| Selections From the Attic |
| The King House shed room is artfully filled with a new exhibit for the summer entitled "Selections from the Attic." It showcases items that have been in more-or-less permanent storage because of limited display space in the house. Enjoy this mixture of nostalgia, town history and the daily life of days gone by. Curator Lester Smith and Jan Peake have unearthed a wide variety of interesting objects, from military weapons to local advertising give-aways and from items of dress to geological concretions. Come see what's been hidden away. While there, please visit the barn - where additional items have been incorporated in the display since last summer. We hope you will bring your summer guests to see the exhibits as well. |
