A new summer acquisition - WW I sewing kit and rifle brush. This kit has a bit of shoe polish, leather for applying polish and many buttons- this was owned by Roy Byer father of Aubrey Byer ( a beloved band director and creator of our Vestal Community Band).

It indicates early settlers and farm land rather than streets. Mersereau, DuBois, Rounds, Eldredge, Pierce, LaGrange, Knight to name a few… you might recognize these as street and road names in our town!

More Railfest fun- September 4-6 Steamtown National Park open from 9-5 pm, admission is always free!

We rode a train (12.00), heard a great historic lecture on the D & H Gravity Railroad from Carbondale to Honesdale, listened to live bands, spoke to great vendors and visited with historical societies from all over, we packed a picnic lunch and had a great experience for only 12.00! I highly recommend this railroad experience!
