~ Pioneer Lifestyle Exhibits ~
| The daily life of the early settler in North Central was a constant struggle. Men and women worked from dawn to dusk to survive and make a living. Occupations included ranching, farming, mining, carpentry, and merchandising. Daily life involved cleaning, washing, cooking, food preparation, and child care, all of it done without the modern conveniences that we take for granted. The museum has a vast array of artifacts reflecting pioneer life styles. They include: A complete cobbler's bench with sewing machine, shoe lasts, and leather tools; a Hoosier cabinet with a variety of old bowls and serving pieces; a kitchen work table (circa 1900); a dining table (circa 1920); a harness buck (1914); saddles; bridles; branding irons; hand made tools (1834); clocks; dolls; butter churns; kitchen tools; and lanterns dating to 1865. |
