Stop by to say hello and enjoy viewing some of our unique history. ... We do not charge admission, but donations are appreciated.

Thanks to Mark Jardel for his donation of a Blain Store ledger. The store was located on Dooley Road, just before Delta Gas. At one time it was Myers’Store. We will have the ledger on display today for any visitor to examine! In more recent years, it burnt down, and became Cliff Sebring’s junk car lot. The property is now owned by Delta Gas. The only thing that I remember surviving the fire was a large safe or cash register. It fell thru the floor. ... I’m sure this was an very active property back in the Ma & Pa days. It was situated next to the tracks and across the road from Cardiff Station. Thanks to Tristan Mundis, we have a copy of an older map that lists some properties in the borough.

Thanks for all that visited last night and thanks to everyone that donated to Giving Tuesday. The museum is open today from 1:30-4 and tomorrow from 10am -noon. We will have a few tea cakes and chocolate chip cookies for sale today. Come see Bill’s train garden and grab some goodies. The Welsh Cottage at Coulsontown is open from noon until 4 both days. ... Our beautiful tree has taken a tumble due to the wind. I hope it can be fixed. It is beautiful.

The town’s Christmas tree is gorgeous! Please stop to see it. Also Santa will be at the barber shop tonight! Thanks to all that make our town festive.
