Library Display - Historical Society's Kitchen





Attended the local Historical Society meeting yesterday.  Their headquarters is located in the offices of a weekly newspaper that used to be printed in town.  The group only meets from April to September and because this April has been so cold, they met in the town hall meeting room instead of their unheated building.   They have many fundraising activities planned and plenty of  ideas on how to spend that money in documenting and preserving the heritage of the area.  Fortunately, after the meeting, they also found time to put in a display at the library of kitchen devices, containers, and even a cookbook from 1907.   I said they could leave the display in until September and one lady laughed and said OK.  She still uses the some of the old implements 'cause they work better than the new stuff.  "But," she said, "I won't need them 'til autumn anyway."
