The displays are subject to change every six months. We have a popular kitchen display, that will not change as often. This display will be added to or refocused on some particular aspect of kitchen life from by-gone days that suits the theme. Our displays are historic, dating back to the 1800's. Some of our major projects ahead are: Displays of family entertainment, family fashions, photography showing along with exhibits, and a real sewing area. We are always in need of docents to help in different aspects.
