Mercer Musuem, Bucks Co

We saw the Doan Gang exhibit and the regular museum.
Mercer built these buildings to hold all his collections. He collected tools and devices of the old world. He saw the transition to more modern processes and wanted to preserve the old. They are all chronicled by task. There is a room for leather making, shoe making, hat making, wood carving, etc. I only took pictures of some of the different rooms. The video is to give you an idea of how much stuff is in there…all the way to the ceiling. It was pretty cool.
The Doan part was okay. They were a gang of British sympathizers in Bucks County area who were basically outlaws. They spied for the British before and during the Revolutionary war. They robbed people and used to money to help support the Brits. They would also intercept mail. I liked the main museum best.
Plus - Steve and Lisa had a membership so I got in free as a guest.Baca selengkapnya
