A Little Piece of History: Touring Museum Windsor

It was a fun day exploring inside the Maison François Baby House at Museum Windsor, which is filled with many exhibits and artifacts that showcase the history of Windsor, as well as the greater Essex County, Ontario region.  

We had a lovely staff member greet us, as we entered to tell us a bit of what we'd find in here and she'd be available to answer any questions we might have. 

Below are a few photos that caught my attention as we were roaming around.

These are Miniatures by William and June Borre who lived here in Windsor, Ontario.  They were created to show different room settings. All of these miniatures were behind glass, so the photos don't do them justice in showing its beauty, but I absolutely loved them with all the details.  Fun fact: the Steinway piano took 150 hours to construct!

Really interesting look at this Acme Electric Washing Machine. I'm curious to know how much laundry could fit in there!

Acme - Early Electric Washing Machine (manufactured after 1926)

French Fête - A representation of an early French settler's cabin. The idea is to imagine having your family here and inviting friends over for a party. 

You could play various French songs while looking at the display too.

There are many other displays to see here.  If you're in the area and haven't visited yet, I would highly recommend stopping in for a historical break.  I look forward to checking out the Chimczuk Museum at another time.
