Items and Artifacts

Although many of the items and artifacts have been donated to the museum, the objective is not to buy or purchase or own any of the historical items on display. Family heritage items stay with that family and family items can be taken back to family at any point in time. Visit the Contact page to inquire about having an item on display at the museum.
