644.	1911 Victor Co. Victrola Phonograph/Record Player. Long before the modern stereo entertainment systems (DVD, CD, cassette tape, 8-track tape, reel to reel, vinyl records, radio etc.), there was the hand-cranked phonograph record player. No electricity or batteries needed. One simply turned the crank a few times, clicked the turnstile on and carefully placed the needle arm down on the edge of the spinning record. A few more cranks might be needed from time to time, otherwise the music would ring forth to the delight of everyone present. Before the flat disc records were used, wax tube-like cylinders were the norm. These were even more fragile but played amazingly well for the times. This model was manufactured in 1911. It was acquired by Charles Albert Schumacher, III and Dorice E. (Marean) (Gemma) Schumacher when they purchased the Lancaster Town Poor Farm in 1947. It is believed to have belonged to one of the former residents at the Town Farm. For many years the Poor Farm residents enjoyed using this marvelous invention. The Lancaster Poor Farm was at the corner of Schumacher Road and Main St. on Ballard Hill since 1872.

Samuel Ward House (formerly at the northwestern corner of Main St. and George Hill Rd. in South Lancaster, now Atlantic Union College’s Lenheim Hall). These antiques represent locally owned examples of a once highly favored design for chair seats: caned. Caning was a popular folk art of the 19th and early 20th centuries that few people today know how to do. Due to their more fragile condition (especially decades after their intricately woven material dries, ages, and becomes more brittle), many such chairs have since been destroyed and discarded. [On temporary loan from John C. Schumacher-Hardy; purchased at auction in June 2002. [NORTH WALL]
711.	Wagon, buggy cushion, 19th century to pre–World War I. This antique cushion came from the James Sartelle House on Otis St. (Jeanette Russell’s estate) in North Village. With strong internal springs, it was designed to help absorb the jostling bumps and jars one experienced while riding a wagon or buggy over dirt roads. Before World War II, most of Lancaster’s roads were unpaved. Gravelly dirt roads were the normal mode of transportation throughout town. And up until the Depression, many folks still employed use of a horse and wagon or carriage for local transportation not undertaken by foot (“Shank’s mare”). On temporary loan from John C. Schumacher-Hardy; from estate lawyer Karen Bolton. [NORTH ANNEX, ALONG NORTH WALL]
