Welcome to my weekly column #TravelTuesday featuring places I've discovered during my research trips or just wandering around in historical areas. I hope you enjoy my discoveries.
Last week we stopped in the downstairs kitchen of the Farrell-Wilson House. Today we're going into the Dining Room.
Next to the Kitchen is the Dining Room. The dinner setting changes throughout the year/seasons. This photograph from the Heritage Farmstead museum features the more formal dinner settings.
When I visited, they had the unique pressed pattern glass (also known as Depression Glass for the era it was produced). Note the highchair in the back corner (with the glass of milk).
A mannequin wearing sack dress and white apron. Note the electric globe lights overhead.
Along the wall is the china cabinet that is filled with antique Chelsea Blue Grape semi-porcelain dinnerware from the early 1900s and a few pieces of other blue-white china.
A blurry photograph of the corner fireplace and mantel clock.
