Historical
Tour Categories in the Museum and Village
In order to make a visit to the Freeborn County Historical Museum and
Village a learning experience, perhaps the groupings of exhibits shown
below will be of some help as you plan your tour of the FCHM. Because
of limitations of space and because some village exhibits relate to
exhibits inside the museum, not all similar exhibits are grouped in
proximity to each other. One line under an item indicates the exhibit
is on the bottom floor of the museum, a star refers to the village, and
all other exhibits are on the top (2nd) floor. It is helpful to realize
that several exhibits can relate to each other historically. In some
instances, comparisons can be made, in others historical sequence will
be important. Obviously, these are not all the possible groupings, and
it is important to realize that others exist which will help your
learning experiences here at the FCHM.
