Collection Highlights
This section highlights unique objects from the collection. The Museum is proud to include in its collection the Gnome of Maxfield Parrish, as well as objects from his workshop. Parrish was not only an artist, but a machinist who made architectural embellishments for his home and models to use in his paintings. The Museum also houses the working models of John Aschauer, including his model steam power plant constructed when Aschauer was only fourteen years old. One of the most unique objects in the collection is John E. Worrell Keely's Etheric Force Machine built in 1878 to measure vibrations.
