Red Bay Museum

Hi All,

This local museum is only open Tue and Thur from 1:30-4:00. Yesterday we made a point of checking it out.

We were pleasantly surprised at the museum organized to represent different businesses like the Faust Drug Store


with its pharmaceutical cabinet.

Carl had a nostalgic moment seeing this Erector set.

All the old furniture and equipment from the Post Office is preserved here.

Same for the old bank.

This is an early 20's Red Bay Street scene.

The railroad depot exhibit included this collection of "date nails" used to keep track of the year the track ties were installed.

The family of the local jeweler donated his work desk and tools.
Well above average for a small town museum.

In chatting with the docent we learned he was the fill in when the regular docent was unavailable. He was very well qualified having been school principal for 16 years and Mayor for five years.

Love,

Sandy & Carl
