Kitchen StoveThe kitchen display is in the room that was originally the dining room.  It connects to the original kitchen through a door on the west wall. Some items of interest include: a tin bathtub, (A 1902 Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog features an identical tub, calling it a “hat style bathtub.”), a cook stove that used wood for fuel, a fireless cooker, which was an early version of a crock pot, a dry sink and many kitchen utensils. There is an early 1900’s telephone. To place a call, the user turned the crank on the right side to generate the electricity to connect with the operator, who made the connection to the party being called.
