Edinburg Town Historian Evonne Barber took Edinburg Common School students on a tour of historic sites in the town on May 28, including the Rural Museum. The elementary students in Celeste English’s class learned about bridges in the town and some of the many activities and jobs townspeople have been involved in over many years. Evonne was assisted by long-time historian Priscilla Edwards.

The Rural Museum’s exhibits include a Victorian parlor and kitchen, a general store, maple sugaring, blacksmithing tools, an old machine shop and a new display on the Copeland covered bridge.

Free tours to the general public will begin June 27 and run Saturdays until Aug. 29 except for July 4 and Aug. 1 at the Rural Museum and the Nellie Tyrrell schoolhouse, both on North Shore Road near the Four Corners.
