Phillips County Museum News for Wednesday, August 4, 2021

Items come in all shapes and sizes here at the Museum. Here is a quick quiz let’s see if you can name the item.

What do coffeepots, elevators, cowboys, animals, fire hydrants, shoes, appliances, and horses have in common?

Okay, here is the second hint. Some are plastic, some are metal, some are glass, some are china, and some are ceramic. Any guesses?

Okay here is the third hint. The items all have a few holes in the top. Yes, if you came up with salt and pepper shakers you are right on the money! Salt and pepper shakers are a great part of history. Their size, the figures, and the materials they are made of telling us what life was like during a certain time period.

The Museum received a fantastic, forty-plus, collection and should be up in display in the near future! Museum hours are Monday – Saturday 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.
