Do the Exhibits Change? 

The answer is yes, no and not as often as we would like. There are a number of constraints. One being the museum is not heated and thus not open in the winter which limits our activity to only part of the year. In the course of cataloging the initial collection, people visiting the museum recalled the old "what-is-it" languishing in their attic or barn and asked if they could donate it. Thus we continue to amass an ever greater number of artifacts. These are not yet all on display — in some cases the item truly is a "what-is-it" and we have to research what it is and what it was used for before we can put it on display. We are thus in a constant state of catch up trying to catalog, organize and display items. Finally, due to the extraordinary generosity of our citizens, we are quite literally out of room to display everything. So while we have a core exhibit that never changes, new items are constantly being added and some older ones stored. Some items are stored awaiting repair and cleaning up. So:

• Yes, new things are constantly being added and some older ones temporarily retired.
• No, in that some items form our core exhibits and are always on display.
• Not as often as we would like, because we just do not have the space.
