Listen in on a typical party line phone conversation on an original 1905 wall telephone just like the one depicted in our logo

We started small, 5 years ago in an old run down creamery building.  It had been used for storage for many years. 

The first year we were only able to clean out one room.  A lot of paint, nails, wire and bubble gum went into trying to fix a room to display some of the artifacts given to us.  As time progressed, we were able to open up another room each year.  All this work was done by only two couples, the Epplers and the Lilleys, and lately mostly by the Epplers.   Everything needed came out of their pockets.  Private donations by tourists and a few locals is the only means of support at the moment, along with any profit from the little antiques and collectable store in the front. 

We also have WWI and WWII newspapers on the walls.
