The objects were part of the lives that took place in the Benjamin House. So many questions come to mind. Why is the whiskey bottle so much bigger than a medicine bottle? Why does the neck of the whiskey bottle lean to the side (did the glass maker taste the contents before making the bottle)? Did the dark bottle contain Ladanum? What was in the tiny bottle? And the doll head must have belonged to a young woman of one of the families. After being buried for over 100 years, the color of the paint is still vivid. Can you feel anyone? Will any of these items send us a message?
We cherish them.
