Antique and Vintage Children's Books on Display at Twitchell-Rowland Homestead Museum

"The Tale of Peter Rabbit" and other books by Beatrix Potter collected by Louise Burr are on display at the Twitchell-Rowland Homestead Museum in Oxford.  Mrs. Burr has paired each title with an appropriate animal figurine.  Also on view are antique and vintage children's books from 1900 - 1975 enjoyed by generations of the McConaghie/McGugan family of Washington, CT and the Buck family of Ansonia.  These were loaned to the Oxford Historical Society by Rob Buck. 

The Twitchell-Rowland Homestead Museum at 60 Towner Lane is open on the first and third Sundays of each month from 2-4 p.m.  Admission is free and refreshments will be served.  For further information call 9203) 888-0230.
