Exciting things happening for Spooky Season! We are pulling never before seen funeral items from our collections, expect information on a full Victorian Funeral event soon.

We are also beginning the process of switching our collections to a new computer system- every single item we have needs to be inventoried, photographed, and storage updated. If you are interested in volunteering to help email [email protected]

(Pictured: catalog information for items from President James A Garfield's Funeral- ignore the reflection in the glass. This is why we need your help!)
