what hidden treasures do we have?

Dear Harriet,
Right off the top of my head I can think of two objects in our collection
which probably never will be exhibited. One is an old hand-operated
(orchard?) duster filled with a white powder that may be DDT. Or how about
a collection of archeological artifacts a local doctor dug out of an ancient
Native American effigy mound?
