Two old sewing machines (one from 1853), old wedding dresses and other clothing, laces, shawls and examples of crochet and tatting are exhibited in the sewing room. One old jacket, over 200 years old, and a rack of patchwork quilts, on dated 1844, are also on display here.
Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen is furnished with an old wood stove from around 1900, a heavy iron kettle, pans and sad irons. An old round table displays a crocheted cover, a custard glass lamp, a Bible and albums.
