I appreciate that you always zoom in on the notes at the museums . I can always pause and read and it's always clear. You're everything I wanted in a TH-camr. 😊

[@hannahbannas]

Cool! I didn’t know this existed. I know about the one in Staunton but not this one in my former VA backyard. Also, the drawings on the wall appear to be by Lewis Miller. He was a PA native but moved to Christiansburg to live with relatives. Some of his work is in Colonial Williamsburg and has been cited by Smithsonian.

Interesting, I’ll have to look for his work next time I’m in Williamsburg.

Cool place! Love many of the folksy antiques. And those trees, stunning! Weird how some start twisting as they get way up there in age. TFS❣

Great collection inside. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing this, lots of interesting things.
Do you think, considering the wide bottom and extremely tall back chairs on display that they were almost custom made for the eventual user?

[@VATravels]

Ah yea, I’m thinking they were.

[@annmcgehee1728]

@ Maybe since they were made by local artisans or even those who used them that would be the case.
My mom actually made a stool like that as a Girl Scout project back in the day!
