In addition to activities on the main floor and second floor of the museum, tinsmith Victor Lavergne was in the pensioner’s cottage out back demonstrating tinsmithing skills. Baruth said the Park House tinsmiths recently shipped large orders to Texas and Toronto.
The Park House Museum gave people a look at days gone by, all as a way to mark the museum’s recent 50th anniversary. Although the Park House was founded as a museum 51 years ago, the summer students decided they wanted to celebrate the first 50 years of the museum. The four-hour Saturday afternoon event featured hearth cooking, butter making, tea and goodies, storytelling, tours, crafts and games.
