Museum collections on display and in storage at the Tennie Burton Museum constitute a rich and diverse body of resources with which to interpret Lima’s past and preserve the memory of it. Some, particularly a sizeable early collection on loan from the Lima Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) date as early as the late 1700\u2019s and early 1800\u2019s.<\/p>\n
Material objects include 19th and early 20th century furniture, china, tools, musical instruments, toys, household, and farm equipment. Collections of men’s and women’s clothing hats and accessories are extensive and exceptionally well preserved. They are exhibited on a rotating basis.<\/p>\n
