Our Collection...

With over 16,000 artifacts, our collection goes well beyond showcasing a a few dairy delights from the old days.

 

From milk bottles and winter delivery sleighs to turn-of-the-century carriages and "coopering" contraptions, Andy and Lotty's collection provides visitors with an intimate and in-depth look at the daily challenges our forefathers and mothers faced, and the brilliantly innovative solutions they created in response.

The Co-operative Story...
