This week we meet with Deborah Gangloff, Executive Director of the Captain Avery Museum. The museum is located in the old home of Captain Salem Avery, originally a one-room cabin built-in 1859. Though the house has changed size, hands, and location a few times, it still houses some amazing items that belonged to Avery and his wife Lucretia.
The family bible, published in 1856, was a wedding gift to the captain’s wife and held in it is the family’s chronological history. They also have a banjo owned by the captain, made by William Butcher around 1848, that is one of only two known to exist with a dancing woman on the fretboard. The museum strives to share 3 centuries of history told in one building.
