EXHIBITS
Embers of Innovation: The Art and Function of Cast-Iron Stoves, invites reflection on the centuries-old metalworking traditions that have shaped this region.
Though stoves may sit quietly in the background of our homes today, they remain central to daily life. Beyond their function, stoves have long served as social hubs—a place to gather, warm our hands, and connect with others.
The Stove Makers of Old Colony Exhibit showcases some of the most beautiful, early and unusual stoves curated and generously loaned by stove restorer David Erickson. Erickson has restored stoves for the National Park Service, Henry Ford Museum and individual customers such as Ralph Lauren, Whoopi Goldberg, Steven Tyler and Michael Strahan.
The exhibit also includes Spicer Stove Co. ‘Model Grand’ Worlds Fair Commemorative Range—which commemorates the company winning the highest award at the 1893 Chicago’s World Fair (Columbian Exposition.)
