Household Artifacts

Many early household artifacts were originally from Europe, brought over by the settlers.

Locally made household artifacts were created from wood, iron and tin.

Hand-operated tools and utensils were in use prior to 1947, when hydro arrived in the area.

Equipment

The larger, logging and agricultural artifacts were often hand-hewn or locally made, and of original design, characteristic of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the early pioneers.
