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...

"Co-operative Enterprises Build a Better World". This was the slogan that accompanied the United Nation's announcement that 2012 would be the International Year of Co-operatives - the only business model ever awarded with such an honour.
