with more than 150 curiosities and whatchamacallits for you to browse through and touch,
trying to figure out what they are. Clues are posted for some of the gizzmos, gadgets,
devices, and strange antiques, the clues may help or may not. Antiques, toys, tools,
thingamajigs, parts & pieces, and even some things we don't know! Be a history detective, a weekend anthropologist, a budding mechanic, a puzzle solver,
an armchair engineer, or just plain curious! This is hands-on fun mixed with thinking
and a great inter-generational outing.
Try curious "toys," wonder about tools from 100 years ago, puzzle over antiques.
The Burlington Historical Society's Museum has helped in past years with loaned objects.
This unique event has been recommended
