Just outside of East Durham NY sits a funky little antique museum that has a surprising collection of artifacts, some dating back to the civil war, some even older going back to settler times. The proprietors, Doug and Sancie Thomson, are super helpful if you have any local historical questions. We were on something of a scavenger hunt looking for some historical records and so were allowed to go back into the archive room. The archive room houses a very impressive colleciton of public records, maps, memorabilia from businesses, photographs, antique business ledgers, and just about any document you can imagine that recorded the history of the area. We were looking for information on an old Inn that my husband's family used to visit when he was a child back in the 50s. Doug and Sancie were super helpful in finding old brochures from the long-gone establishment and even helped us get in touch with friends my husband hadn't seen for over 50 years. It was a wonderful experience and we were thankful for all their assistance.
