Food brings back memories. I had a mom that wasn't a good cook, so I would eat my grandma's food. It was amazing because it brings back a time almost in Technicolor. I see her house, I see her stove; I think about what it felt like when I was sick, and it felt like love.
– Debi Mazar
The newly renovated West Gallery features recreations of rooms from typical homes at the turn of the last century. The four rooms and back porch faithfully portray a living room, dining room, bed room, and kitchen. Each sectioned off area was carefully researched and assembled by Grady County Historical Society board members to best represent home-life in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.
The kitchen scene is especially detailed with a cast iron wood burning stove and a wooden icebox. The back porch is complemented with nearby wash pots, an old well, and an outhouse.
The bedroom has two chamber pots, a bed warmer, and an antique iron bed among other furnishings. The dining room is furnished in a somewhat later period and represents a more upscale lifestyle. The living room is a cozy representation of an evening by the fireplace after a hard day of work.
