Though enemies in war, Dutch members came to the aid of their fellow Saints in need. As the widowed mother of eight children, Clara Spencer used the same old, coal-burning stove she had purchased as a young bride to provide for the needs of her large family. Visitors will see artifacts from many parts of the world to illustrate the stories we are telling, along with photographs and documents, audio recordings, and videos to explain the importance of each event or program. Beyond rebuilding the facade of a Nauvoo artist's house and setting up a 1930s kitchen, the museum has installed an apple peeler, canner, pressure cooker, and labeler used in Welfare Services food processing plants. A restored 1939 Chevrolet truck is used to portray how member donations were picked up for redistribution through the Los Angeles bishops' storehouse.
