Newest Artifacts to the Colburn House
The Dinsmore family from the "Branch Pond" area of nearby Palermo has donated a beautiful, full-sized "horsehair" couch from the early 1800s to the Colburn House for display in the parlor. While nearly every family of means had these couches during that time period, very few survive today, since the horsehair upholstery was usually replaced with other fabric in the last century. The gift couch is in remarkable shape with only a few repairs needed to the upholstery. It can be on display in the parlor for visitors this summer. This is a great educational tool since young people, especially, will marvel that thrifty settlers wasted little, and used horsehair for things like furniture fabric and even the plaster in the walls.
There are other new additions to the items on display at the Reuben Colburn House. Click here to see what they are.
