Discovering A New Museum In Westville, New York

I decided to visit a local museum on one autumn afternoon and drove to the tiny settlement of Westville, in Franklin County. The property sat on the scenic banks of the Salmon River:

It was a brand new facility, and they were holding an open house and dedication that day:

There were lots of pots, pans and kitchen utensils:

And a World War II uniform:

Lots of old kitchen goods, such as the percolator, mixer and egg slicer. There were also a number of old flatirons. I did not join the good folks for dinner but thanked them, took my leave and began the drive home:
