Miniatures – Marjorie Johnson Room

It really is "a small world" in one of the most popular rooms in the Museum! You'll find enchanting miniature houses and rooms, each displaying a variety of small-scale furnishings.

The star of this exhibit is (of course) the Marjorie Johnson dollhouse – a lovely house in late Victorian style filled to the attic with tiny treasures. The house is noted for the "stone" work at its base, its 8,000 hand-cut clapboards...
and its mysterious ghost!

Railroading – Bob McKeand Room

All aboooooard...for a ride on the Old Putnam Line as it makes its run from Kitchawan through a recreation of the Yorktown depot area circa 1950 to the Amawalk station. The fully-operational HO scale model layout is a delight for both young and old railroad enthusiasts, be they historians or model train buffs. In addition, Old Put Line devotees will be thrilled by the large collection of original Put artifacts and photos now on display, as well as slides of the line's stations and trains. Come, step back in time and once again "ride the rails" of the Old Put.
