White, Thadd

Abstract:

White relates how the Craftsman Museum in Windsor came into being through the efforts of Mayor Jim Hoggard and the late local historian Harry Lewis Thompson. The museum is in the former Livery Stable, which is thought to have been built around 1890 to house horses and mules as well as sell them. Most of the artifacts there are from Thompson's collection.
