Also on display are the creations made by a travelling druggist who was the last person to live in the building.

The Perkins House Museum on the Belmont Village Green holds the family items, elementary school student murals about the railroad history and our state's Terrestrial Fossil, the mammoth tusk, an Estey organ used across the street in the Methodist Church, the museum's albums, a Civil War display, and information about the Chase Toy Factory.

Both buildings date to the 1840s when the village was known as Mechanicsville. Mammoth related items are also offered for sale, and please check the website for special programs.

Hi Folks,

Here we are in the middle of Spring and watching all the flowers bloom, the trees filling out with green leaves, all fresh and new. Another favorite time of year.

Also time for another Chit Chat and my deadline for the June issue is Wednesday May 22nd by 6:00 pm. Please have all articles, announcements, advertisements and or changes to ads to me by then. I look forward to hearing from you. Remember color pictures and ads look great when posted on the website. Thank you for your contributions for the Chit Chat with articles or cash, they are all treasurers that keep our paper moving forward.

Happy Memorial Day,

Diana Garrow, Editor
