New for 2008: Because all the wonderful donations made to the Museum, we are opening the Heritage Antiques and Curiosities in the back barn of the Museum campus.  This new shop will be open daily during the season.

The original Heritage Antiques was opened on Catawba Avenue in the historical Schiele-Oddfellows Building by Bob and Helen (Dorsey) Klatt. The Klatts were two of the Museum founders and their donations formed the foundation for the museum collection.
