The general store reminds us of a time when everything could be bought at the corner store. From tobacco to eggs to soap, you could find everything at the same time in the same place.
|
The hallway to the tool room has many items that were used in the production of steel by the foundry industries that once were in Albion.
|
Be transformed to a time when wood was used to cook and actual ice was needed for the ice box.
The kitchen has a wood stove with the table set for dinner.
You will notice all of the different utensils that have come and gone.

The tool room houses tools from all eras. A single paper news press, a canary cage used by miners, and many interesting farming items can be found in this area of the basement.
