NEW DISPLAYS
Kitchen Ware
1920 to 1940's green kitchen ware Great Grandma used. Do you remember her using the rolling pin, patato smasher, and the beater? The before electric in the kitchen labor savers.
This year the Museum's display at the Villa Park Library was on Depression Glass. Sandi and Bob Dollinger along with Ruth Speder set up the display and it received rave reviews. If you missed it, you can see an even larger display “Depression Glass of the Years” when the Villa Park Historical Museum reopens for the season on April 18th . There you will be greeted by a new colorful collection of Depression Glass. Filling two showcases will be, one each of various patterns of green glass, pink glass and one of opalescent hobnail (or moonstone). We have tried to identify as many patterns as possible so perhaps you will see your pattern. You may also be able to identify a pattern we couldn't so please tell us.
