Virtual Museum

The library has started a  Virtual Museum.

The Virtual Museum  is an attempt to locate museum items that have been scattered over the years in various locations in the library, and present these items for public view as well as to create an interest in objects we may now view as quaint and curious. It is also an attempt to determine which items are now missing. 

Two items, shown below, have been pictured at this time on the Virtual Museum page. The first photograph is a coffee mill ca. 1850, followed by a detail of the decoration. The two photographs following are of antique furniture from the Isaac Hagaman house, who was the library's financial benefactor.
Please visit the page at the link above to see a list of other items which will be linked with photographs and for further photos of the items below. The link for the museum page is on the library's website www.hagamanlibrary.info on the left hand side.
