Come check these cool exhibits:
Come to 15 Main Street and Kitchen gadgets: exercise your detective powers as you try to figure out what these old new-fangled gadgets were designed to do! HANDS-ON — Pick ’em up, turn the cranks — kids welcome, too (with adult supervision, of course!)
Another fun exhibit: “Lyme Collects.” Something for everyone: Bill Murphy’s campaign buttons (over 100 of them) and his postcards from around the world with a special LYME- twist; English bone china tea cups, stamps, cookie cutters, buttons, and more rug beaters than you ever knew existed. FUN!
Other rooms continue to display vintage Lyme items, maps, photographs, and Abenaki tools.
