The exhibits on the first floor rotate - check back to see what's new!

2023 Exhibits Include:

Children of Greenfield, a sampling of childhood
Signs of Other Times: business signs and advertising
What Do We Do With The Stuff?!: how items become artifacts

Rivers, Roads, and Railroads: transportation in our town
Tapping In to History: Greenfield Tap & Die
Dexter Marsh, Dr. James Deane & the discovery of dino tracks

Some exhibits stay in place for many years due to the "evergreen" nature of the topic, like the history of Greenfield Tap & Die and the painting of our founder, Mary P. Wells Smith. Others are very time-specific, like the Langstroth bee hive that comes down each year for Bee Fest and then flies away again! 
Here's a peek at some of what's been on the exhibit floor recently.

As we change the displays over time to share more of the collection, items shown toward the bottom of this page may no longer be on exhibit, but the pictures give a sense of the collection.
