Have you ever wondered how some of the things around your house changed from about 1900 until now? Many people don’t use hookahs or mortars and pestles anymore. We have more advanced technology and we can now use blenders or electric mixers. In our gallery we have an old tea set and a Turkish coffee maker and a hand knitted blanket which were used years ago and are still being used today.

All artifacts have a story about them and if you take time to read them you might be surprised at how interesting the stories are. These artifacts like the silverware set, the old drum, a pair of eyeglasses, and the room service bell have fascinating histories. They came from different countries and cultures and everything was used a different way. Whether it is a kitchen utensil, hobby, or just something found around a house, everything is special and has a sentimental value to each of our families.
