modern brick house until the brick house was destroyed by fire
last year and the old frame shanty wa3moved to the museum site

carefully under the direction of curator Bob Tremain and his
staff.
This spring for the first time school tours have been a constant
thing at the museum with tours being schedultwd at a two a day
clip during the early part of June. This and the growing
reputation of the museum make it certain that attendance will
soar in this the second year of operation.

hard -to -heat buildings, is open year round with the exception of
two days, Christmas and New Year's day. Summer hours run
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday to Friday and 11-6 on
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays and during the fall, winter and
spring months from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday to Friday and
11-5 on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
Admission is just 11 for adults and 50 cents for children.
