Charles A Foster Carpentry Barn

 

Charles Foster’s original business sign is hung on the barn. He resided in the house until 1875. Charles lived until the age of 99, passing away in 1961.

Contained within the barn are working stone wheels, a lathe, and other treasures.

 

As of 2022, our newest exhibit is open. Stop by to see our working wood shop in the Charles Foster Barn!
