In this gallery you will find household necessities from the past. All these artifacts in this section are items that had ordinary functions. Each artifact has its own unique and fascinating history. Each artifact is important to the owners because each is associated with a special memory. The artifacts in this gallery include a blanket, a diary, a perfume bottle and kitchen items like Turkish coffee pots and a charoset maker,a helou dish. A helou dish is something that was used to hold sweets. We learned about our ancestors’ interests and activities from the artifacts that are listed.
When you think more about it all these artifacts are older than us, even older than our parents! These artifacts are very unique and special, but they all have something in common. All of the artifacts are more than two, or three generations old. They all are very important to all the families that have owned these artifacts. They all bring back memories to the owners.
