Norma's Home 


In Norma's Home, you will find many electrical appliances that made life much easier since they became accessible and affordable. Some of these include a television, refrigerator, sewing machines, and a washing machine. During the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, the way that household duties and chores were performed was very different compared to today.
​
This exhibit was revamped in 2019 in honor of Norma Kirkpatrick, a long-time benefactor of the museum and an advocate for the importance of preserving local history. We continue to add artifacts to, and adjust Norma's home.
