I getting these up before the power goes out here. Things are slowly ramping up weatherwise.
The log cabin was full of taxidermy mounts including the brown bears. I had to get a picture of the cut-off logs with identifying tags. Every woodburner should have a set of these in their living room for those "What kind of wood is this?" posts.
The two punt guns were used by market gunners. The guns were about 9 feet long. I wondered what happened to the one with the damaged breech. There is also an exhibit of antique Vermont rifles until the end of October when it closes for the season. One house included a large collection of wood bird decoys and carved birds that filled the house. Being a bird carver, I could have spent half of a day in that house alone. I have books of wildfowl decoys, and to see them in person was really neat.
I learned two things from the trip. 1.) Buy a better camera. 2.) Take more pictures.
This museum is about 1 1/2 hours from West Lebanon if anyone is making the road trip to Woodstock this fall.
