Barber Shop

The Barber Shop display reflects the tools and duties of a pioneer barber who along with his regular jobs of providing shaves and haircuts. A sign on the shop wall proclaims, "Haircut 25 cents, Shave 15 cents". A barber was often called upon to pull teeth and provide a bit of doctoring when circumstances warranted. An early day barber might even offer a place to bathe for a fee.

The building was refinished and refurbished with the volunteer efforts of Floyd Martin, assisted by Don and Dea Pyle. Furnishings include the rear wall shelving and counter complete with various lotion and tonic bottles. The barber chair with attached strops is there along with a kerosene lamp and a stove, water bucket and a shoe shine box. Clippers, razors, and such are on exhibit in a glass case display case on the wall. You will even find a rack ready for the "next" customer's hat.
