Many interesting old items will be making their debut when Time Was Village Museum near Mendota opens its doors for its fourth season on May 1. These survivors from yesterday will be on exhibit in the seven buildings of the museum along with the thousands of others there that have attracted over 30,000 visitors annually. An old sprinkling wagon that for many years watered down the dusty dirt streets of Mendota has been added to the museum's collection of wagons and carriages, along with a newly restored old wicker pony buggy, complete with a disappearing rumble seat. A 125-year-old pine-cased grandfather's clock with Burch Willis Men's Store Wednesday, May 16th, 7 to 9 p.m. wooden works, is the venerable addition to the clock shop.

There will be more melody in the shop of old music boxes, for a German-made Symphonion, made in the 1890's, has taken up residence there. Also a 1913 Edison diamond needle phonography. Nearing restoration in the museum workshop is a 1905 Gabel Entertainer, a primitive nickelodeon style record playing machine that sports a veritable Rube Goldberg style needle-changing mechanism. To the exhibit of farm tools has been added a 1924 cross- engine Case tractor and a 1931 Model AR John Deere. Quite bizarre is a large hand- carved tableau of early American history.

It has Washington, Lincoln, the slaves, Daniel Boone, canoes, tomahawks, Indians, buffalo, and it's topped with a huge hand-carved eagle. Most folks try to stay out of jail. But when the old iron- caged Lostant jail was added late last season it seemed as if all the youngsters who visited the displays wanted to get into the have their picture taken! Numerous additional china head and bisque dolls have taken up residence with their 300 sisters in the Doll Cottage.
