Fun For Little Historians
The Children’s Area of the Museum is a section evolving out of a gallery formerly designated for rural life. As our collection of artifacts is growing to include a sizeable selection of antique toys, furniture, and clothing it has become evident that it deserved its own space. Drawn from various galleries, collection rooms, and other exhibits scattered throughout the Museum, the Children’s Area is anchored by the delightful display on Sam,
A Special Puppy
and five operational model trains. Sam was a local dog who achieved national fame through the writings of his owner Brenda Darsey.
The trains are the nucleus of a much larger collection donated to the Museum by Hampton Ward. These model trains are G gauge and O gauge. Four of these are on tracks suspended from the ceiling while the fifth unit is on an antique baggage cart surrounded by scenery representing Cairo in the 1950s.
