In this section you will discover historic items from around the house. The items in this section were commonly used by many of our ancestors. There are many significant and unique kitchen items, like Turkish coffee pots, a mortar and pestle, a tea set and a brass tray. Some of these items are still used today, such as the brass tray. The Turkish coffee pot was used to make coffee. The mortar and pestle is used to crush ingredients into a paste, or a powder. You will also see a grandparent's musical audio mixer and a drum used to play traditional music and a Tiki man that was a souvenir.
These items are special to us because many of our ancestors used these items in their home country. These household items have been passed down from generation to generation and are very meaningful to their present owners.
