Main Street Room

This room was designed to show you how a19^th century Chariton County town might have looked. There is a bank with bars on the teller window. A printing shop complete with a linotype press once used to print the Salisbury Press-Spectator. There is a barber shop with the well-known barber pole. The fire truck from the 1930’s sure looks different from the fire engines of today! And the general store is there to browse through…and while you’re there you might want to check your post office box for mail. If your horses need new shoes, you can stop by the blacksmith shop. The covered wagon is there being repaired.
