Interested residents wanted to create a museum and had the store moved to its present location. Members of this group each contributed to the saving of this building.
GRANT HALL MUSEUM-will be open during the summer on Tuesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays 10am to noon beginning June 7th & by appointment.
The current exhibit is of Ossipee textiles, which includes dresses, men's wear, hats, & boots. There is also a spinning wheel, a flax wheel, a bootmakers stand, a wash tub & a sewing machine. We kept the Civil War corner, since the doctor was from Ossipee.
We now have the fishing fly that was specially created by Rick Estes for this area, framed & on display.
We now have a new roof on one half of the building! The barn boards under the shingles had dry rot & the nails would not hold any more. Future work will include installing 2 outward opening doors and installing a ramp for accessibility for all and a better sign, and possibly signs on Route 16 to get our Museum noticed..
Any donations would be appreciated to help cover the cost of this project.
