The society's collections, housed on the ground floor, are surprisingly large and diverse. They range from children's playthings, farm implements and tools to a completely furnished Victorian parlor and kitchen, just like Grandma's. The Jelly Bean Tree is located in the Main Street Arts building. This crafts cooperative displays and sells work by local artisans, including pottery, creative stitchery, prints, jewelry, sculpture, toys and gifts. Operated by volunteers, the Jelly Bean Tree is open daily throughout the summer months.
Scholarships are available.
