The Heritage Museum: three homes, the last of them the old license branch

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

The town's museum has been a room, a house, and a license branch, in that order:Its second home was a house with a doctor in it: the house at 413 Michigan Street, built in 1885, where Dr. Elliott Frash kept his home and office for thirty-eight years — donated by Dr. and Mrs. Elliott Frash, it became the Heritage House Museum. The building's address prints in conflict, whole: the society's page gives 305 Roosevelt Road; the directories reached give 302 Roosevelt Road — the number the Wars leg's flag carries. The hours print in conflict too: the society's site gives Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; a directory listing gives Friday 5–9 p.m. and Saturday 12–4 p.m. Both tellings stand at their strengths; the telephone, (574) 586-3868, agrees everywhere.
