Do I Look Familiar? Our newest content!

Just to prove that history is a living, breathing thing (and all around us), we have added two new sections to our site!

Help us sort through the photo box… Like any good Historical Society, we have our collection of old photos, but many of the people are unidentified. We're hoping that you may be able to help with that at our Do I Look Familiar section! Let us know who you recognize, and we can update our records and give you credit!
Our other new addition is the Young People's Take on History. Open to students in fourth through twelfth grade, we will accept your original essay (about 400 words, max), and publish it on our site. It will be your first published scholarly work on the road to tenure!

Featured Sections

At the risk of repeating ourselves, we rely on our visitors and our other sponsors for quite literally everything. Can you help out?

Have you wondered?

If you have ever wondered what we do when we have additional artifacts we have to store, we have turned to The Storage Answer. These units can be stored when not in use to make more room inside garages and store rooms, and even out in the vehicle lot space. Because these containers can be used inside as easily as out, it makes more sense than converting shipping containers! These units are weatherproof, sturdy and secure. They are much more secure than a flimsy plastic shed from a big box store, and will be there for decades to come. We cannot recommend the flat pak containers from The Storage Answer too highly!.

If you are looking for a terrific source for rustic, hand-made benches, tables, clothes racks, and candleholders, visit the country bench at https://www.thecountrybench.com

When we look for a great way to get rid of old furniture, old equipment, household and other items, we turn first to Mecanica Estate Sales. An "estate sale", simply put, is a sale done for a client who needs to liquidate merchandise!
