The baby carriages form one of the most interesting displays in the museum, and show that many of our early generations enjoyed comfortable travel in their younger days, despite the fact that ball bearings were un- common. One carriage has an extremely fancy canopy, and another could be spring suspended from the rear of the sleigh or buggy so that the baby had a smooth ride over the corduroy roads.

Eisenbach's collection provides a complete cross- section of pioneer artifacts from the Lambton area. Some of these objects he purchased at sales, but the bulk of the collection has been donated by old families in Grand Bend and surrounding com- munities, to help present and future generations maintain a link with their ancestral heritage, almost three h,undred, Another primary focus of Mr. Walden's collecting endeavours is evident in his large assortment of Currier and Ives coloured lithograph prints, This outstanding group alone totals three hundred dif- ferent prints. The collection, presently housed in several buildings on the Walden property in Bosanquet, has never been open to the public except by personal arrangement. With the founding of the Lambton Heritage Museum, Mr. Walden has kindly donated his artifacts so that we all can enjoy and benefit from this important collection. If you have any further queries, please feel free to contact me at 238-8890. Fred Walden and the late Peter Eisenbach were good friends for many years. Mr. Walden was named to the committee managing Eisenbach's estate after his death. As in the case of the Eisenbach collection, Mr. Walden's artifacts have primarily been gathered locally, and they too span the complete spectrum of pioneer equipment and utensils. Interesting antiques from nearby farms include wooden pumps, ox yokes and shoes, and a „large number of wooden rakes, shovels, forks, flails, and other harvest equipment since replaced by the thresher and combine. An extensive assort- ment of crockery ranges in size from small vessels to the huge containers that were once used to store foods prior to the invention of the refrigerator. a While there are quality pieces of every nature, an indisputable strength of the collection is the wide array of Early Canadian and American pressed glass water pitchers, which number Dear Sir or Madam: The Lambton Heritage Museum Committee is seeking support from area businesses and concerned citizens for the preservation of the Peter Eisenbach and Fred Walden collections. As you know the late Mr. Peter Eisenbach of Grand Bend left his extensive collection to the County, with the understanding that a suitable building would be erected to house the artifacts. Since,, then, Mr. Ered Walden of Thedford has graciously offered to donate his considerable per- sonal collection when the museum is completed. To begin the project, a site was donated for a nominal fee by the Province of Ontario. The con- struction cost of the two buildings now underway will total $600,000. of which $150,000. must be raised locally. It will please you to know that a matching grant offered by Wintario makes every dollar you contribute actually count as two dollars toward the building cost. The Lambton Heritage Museum will provide many in- teresting hours for citizens, and visitors to the Sarnia-Lambton area as well as an educational program for students of all ages throughout the winter months. Since virtually all of the artifacts have been collected in the im- mediate vicinity, there is no doubt that this will be a truly GRAND BEND DECORATING I" I \ 15 Main St. 238-8603 ICO Yours truly, Robert J.

From an early age old things held a special fascination for the late Peter Eisenb,ach. He gathered and saved the rapidly- disappearing tools and devices of bygone days until his personal collection filled four buildings on his Grand Bend property, in- cluding the house, a chapel, log smokehouse, and barns. One of the largest privately- owned museums in Canada, his artifact collections were open to the public for a small entrance fee. Mr. Eisenbach donated all proceeds from admissions to charity. The collection itself, totalling about 6,000 pieces, includes both large-scale agricultural im- plements and smaller household necessities. Many artifacts have been effectively presented in the context of their original usage, These "period settings" include a sugar shanty, schoolhouse, and butcher, blacksmith, harness, barber and cooper shops. The collection features a wide assortment of shelf and wall clocks that show the fine hand craftsmanship of their makers. Almost all of these are in working condition, having been com- pletely overhauled by Mr. Eisenbach when acquired. An assortment of canes ranges from plain varieties hewn from small tree limbs, to beautiful fancy designs in glass that would make any owner show a touch of fAffir."7 Mr. & Mrs, Roy Morenz, Glenda and Tammy attended the 25th wedding anniversary party for her brother, Mr. & Mrs. Russell Cook at Tavistock, last week end.
