The Definition of Decorative Art: Sometimes known as functional art – a term that embraces all artistic works created for both use and decoration. It includes work by skilled artisans, in metal, stone, wood, and glass as well as textiles including quilts, coverlets, and tapestries. The term also refers to those aspects of interior design subordinate to architecture, including molded plaster work, wallpaper, furniture, and draperies. Personal objects such as jewelry, tools, and costumes are considered to be part of the decorative arts as well. Any and all art works with a sense of design fall under the decorative arts and are the wonderful things that we live with and look at every day. The Center also features contemporary work by artists who use the traditional decorative arts media.

It seems that about every 20 years, the museum has outgrown its facilities and finds itself in desperate need of expansion. Because the museum building is land-locked, expansion of Harmon Hall was not an option. So in 1998, the historical society purchased the former Lebanon Post Office next door to Harmon Hall. It will provide the needed space in which to continue the tradition of presenting, preserving and storing one of the finest county museum archival and three-dimensional collections in the United States. Renovation began soon thereafter. In 2009 the main room of thePost Office was upgraded with new windows, drapes, new counterwork, a kitchen was installed, additional overhead lighting was installed, the floor was refinished and the room was repainted.
