Site A – Entrance

Site A encompasses our parking lot, the front entrance to the museum, and along the highway near the parking lot. The idea is to attract visitors off the road and into the museum.  By offering 

FUTURE PLANS:

Warner log cabin (below): the cabin, recently given to the museum,would be restored and could have a couple of different functions.  It could be interpreted with artifacts for visitors to view.  It could be left empty, except for picnic tables, and be a shelter for visitors.  

 

 

 

 

 

CURRENT FEATURES: 

Steam tractor                 

Museum entrance sign

Five raised beds featuring local crops and pollinator plants
