Farm Festival & Motor Exposition
The postponement of the Motor Exposition in June because of bad weather had led to a combined Will Carleton Farm Festival and Motor Exposition. All four buildings in the Poorhouse complex will be open, as well as displays by crafters and Civil War re-enactors. The General Store will have baked goods for sale. The Barn Museum will display historical collections. The old barn museum will be open for the first time with items used by farmers and farm wives and railroad and Baw Beese Lake memorabilia. Of course, the Mail Pouch Tobacco siding is also on display.
Visitors will also enjoy the old tractors from the Center Adams Power Equipment and Machinery Club and old cars proudly displayed by their owners.

Mail Pouch Tobacco sign
The large portion of the 1859 barn has been cleaned out, and the Mail Pouch Tobacco sign is on display. We will continue with the organization of the barn toward the goal of creating another museum on the Poorhouse complex, this one dedicated to items related to farming.
