alone, either because they are not of the sort to be put in a
.collectionofarticles, or because they are one -of -a -kind at
the museum,.,
. Several articls found:there are in this position. One is the
Orchestral ' Regina. Made by A. W. Karn of Hamburg,
Germany, it was built between 1860 and 1900. The records
with it ,are dated' at 1889 and 1893. It was originally coin-
operated, and is one 'of the larger Models used in hotels and
fine dining rooms. It has served the museum's visitors with
nostalgic music for years.
In' the' recent 'Wing on the first floor, several wheeled
exhibits are to be seen.. One of these is the 1832 covered
• wagon. It' headed west from Huron with wheat farmers for
the prairies in that year. It is symbolic of the manypioneers'
who left ,Duron tract to settle out west during the grain
boom. No western county, it was boasted, was without its
hard-working Huron people,' and Bruce people to keep them
from getting any work done. The Bruce people said just the
opposite, however. ''
The canvas -covered wagon has several standard features
of a •Pioneer wagon. There is an oil larnfi o light the way for
the night horseman, and sturdy -wood:;takvyheeis with iron
rims to hold them together. On either side there are water
buckets in case of fire, thirst or dirt,"cooking tools, a hand --
saw, a strongbox, a French hatchet, which was traded with
the Indians for furs; and heavy hemp rope to hold the top on
tight.
Inside the wagon are all the comfort§ of what you could
expect for your prairie home; a straw -covered wooden bed,
a metal table and a coal stove. n
Dight in front Of the wagon,where the horses should be is
another 'vehicle: the float commemorating the 1948Jnter-
national Plowing Match in Huron.
,On the front stands the,throne on which the Huron,.Cotinty
Qeen of the Furrow sits. It has made three outings'already,
and will be on display Friday before visiting Clinton and
Dashwood on Saturday.
On :a completely different, note, as you walk 1upstalrs,, in
front of thelocomotive,- you pass three bells. All are anec-
dotes to Huron history.
The first one was used in" Auburn as a fire .alarm and.
church-bell. It was also rungperiodically throughout the day
by a town father. At times it Was hard to tell whether it was
dinnertime or a fire alarm, arid a few mixups took place.
The most famous is the one used by Tiger Dunlop. It was
given"hirn as a present and was used daily by him to call the
men of Colborne in from the fields. It served that purpose•for
many years. - . .
The,, third one is a• bronze bell frona'the ,tower of the old
Goderieh town hall, The building lasted 80 years, in service
from 1879 to 1959.
All these items and countless other are on display at the
Huron County Pioneer Museum. Visirthe museum'once a
year, lest «e forget what,; rgreat area this is, and what spirit
our forefathers showed.in developing the land.
