Episode 25: Captain Avery Museum
Manage episode 302777384 series 2819014
This week we meet with Deborah Gangloff, Executive Director of the Captain Avery Museum. The museum is located in the old home of Captain Salem Avery, originally a one-room cabin built-in 1859. Though the house has changed size, hands, and location a few times, it still houses some amazing items that belonged to Avery and his wife Lucretia.
The family bible, published in 1856, was a wedding gift to the captain’s wife and held in it is the family’s chronological history. They also have a banjo owned by the captain, made by William Butcher around 1848, that is one of only two known to exist with a dancing woman on the fretboard. The museum strives to share 3 centuries of history told in one building.
