Florence, Arizona Home Tour- February 2018- Part 22

Walking around the Pinal County Historical Museum, I found many things on display I either never saw before or haven’t seen in years. The museum has some very interesting things on display, and some not so nice things. Although this museum is known for their display of items from the Arizona State Prison that some, including myself, may find upsetting, I decided to focus on everything but those exhibits. I tried to photograph many of the exhibits, I decided to post most of the photographs of the historical clothing and accessories.

Some Victorian era shoes and corsets…

A few hats…

And a petal powered sewing machine…

After looking at the Victorian era items, I went to the other side of the museum and looked at the desk of one of the lawyers from Florence used to use…

But I was there to look at this adding machine…

This adding machine was donated my one of my family members after one of my relatives passed away in 2006. I always make sure to look at it whenever I come to the museum. The adding machine is either from the 1930’s or 1940’s and is made out of Bakelite plastic. It was used by my relatives for the business. I used to play with it when I was young and I wanted to keep it for sentimental reasons, but my family member donated anyway. I still miss it, but there wasn’t very much I could do to stop my relative. I am happy I get to see it on display in the museum, know people can see it too, and hopefully enjoy it as much as I did playing with it.

Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
