The museum has visitors!

Ann Story Cabin, Farmingdale Cemetery, and Ethan Allen Cave Field Trip

Heading down the road to the Story Homestead!

Remains of the cabin that was donated to the Story site.
This cabin was similar to the original Story home.  

The remains that stand on this site today are similar to

what the Story family found when they returned from their 
Otter Creek cave and found Indians had burned their cabin.

Some surprised students - some not so surprised!

Historian and teacher Diane Benware from Salisbury Elementary 

School met us at the Story site to answer questions and give us 

more information.  Thanks, Diane!

A neat climbing nook!
