This makes it real, and it makes their lives connected to how people lived then. While the Mabee-Gerrer features a large number and variety of Fr. Gerrer's pieces, only 3 percent of the museum's permanent collection is on display, Williams told Fallin. However, expansion is planned to increase gallery space and provide more places for children to learn, she said. The Mabee-Gerrer Museum is open every day except Monday.
Admission is free, but donations are welcomed.
