Historical Society Member Peter Ramsay Restored Cabinet

Photo: Celia Hunter - The cabinet originally displayed men's haberdashery at Fowler's Men's Wear in downtown Millbrook.  In the 1960s (presumably when the shop closed), Clare Williams, wife of Harry, mother of Jill, bought it to display her collection of rocks and minerals.  It was later used at the Heritage Centre when it was active on King Street in the 1990s.  It has recently been completely restored by Historical Society Board member Peter Ramsay and has now been installed at the Millbrook branch of the Cavan Monaghan Library.   The first exhibit of artifacts features a collection of rare tools donated to the Historical Society in the mid 1980s.
