The Dublin Historical Society recently received a donation of a corn cutter, which will be on display in the Schoolhouse museum during the Centennial Celebration
We want to thank Linda Clukay for the donation! Her sister-in-law, Yummy Cady, sent us her memories of the corn cutter and the part it played in the history of Dublin.

“If you look on page 185 of Tom Hyman’s Dublin History, you will see a picture of our family in the Bicentennial Parade. The text in the second paragraph is a bit wrong – my Mom was not hooking a rug, she was weaving a rug on the loom that she eventually donated to the Dublin Historical Society; it was given to my Mom by one of the Richardson’s (I think Jenny), but definitely Dublin roots. Also in that picture, right behind where Mom is seated, is a corn cutter – it’s hard to see, but the little boy visible standing behind it is my brother Kenny. As our float slowly climbed up Dublin Hill that day, he was “playing” with the corn cutter and cut one of his fingers pretty badly. I so clearly have memories of folks along the sidewalk offering hankies to help coral all the blood!! That corn cutter was in our dining room all through my growing up. When my parents sold what we call “The Big House” to Wayne and Jane Hopkins in 1979, they gave the corn cutter to Kenny – of course!....
I don’t actually know how the corn cutter came to the Clukay family…. I do know that it was part of our home since 1950, the year our parents bought the large colonial house, the huge barn, and 60 plus acres of land on Route 137, all built in the 1700’s. It could conceivably have been part of the property when they bought it. I will try to get more on that...But it certainly was part of the Bicentennial Parade, blood and all, as was the loom…. You know what a sentimental slob I am, so my feelings that the corn cutter and the loom belong together could be just that – sentimentality! But it is a beautiful piece of early farm equipment, in excellent shape.”

Many of the pieces that you find in our collection are typical of a small New England town - farm equipment, historical artifacts and the letters and journals of those who have lived here. Being the home of many artists throughout the 20th Century, we are also privileged to have many works of art in our collection.

One of the more interesting pieces that hangs in our Archives is the Death Mask of Abbott Handerson Thayer, which was made by artist Alexander James on the day of Thayer's death , May 29, 1921.
