Museum of Early Trades and Crafts

This museum displays selections from the area's largest collection of the handsome tools once used by craftsmen--cabinetmakers, hornsmiths, ironworkers, cobblers, opticians, surveyors among others--and by women to cook and bake, make candles, concoct medicines, spin wool,stencil wall decorations and sew clothes. In addition to the reconstructed schoolroom adapted from the Madison Academy (1809-1881), a full-size colonial kitchen, completely equipped, shows the center of family life in those past times.
