The 1900’s kitchen exhibit features some new items compared to the 1800’s cabinet. Over on the left you’ll see a typical icebox for the time period. That small wooden box was insulted the best that it could be to hold ice as electricity didn’t come to the area until around World War II. Generally, people would go to town once a week to get a block of ice for their icebox and hoped it lasted long enough to get the next block. Across the kitchen you’ll find a wood stove, and an extremely unique copper tab washing machine, then you’ll see a newer stove and refrigerator representing the time when electricity finally came to the area.
