The Garage

The Garage

The attached garage of our museum holds incredible treasures! Our larger objects are housed here, including a vintage racing car, a sheep wagon, a sleigh, and other treasures from our county, such as snowshoes for horses and original mail pouches. Spend some time in the garage -- it’s quite fascinating.
