Still packing and moving, I don't remember having this much effort moving all of the stuff in. It seems easier moving in a few things at a time. The display cabinets seem heavier moving the now.

Crazy amounts of collectibles to pack up, with much going into storage. We were regularly putting items into storage and grabbing items from storage for new displays. We have predominantly Freeport items but some other related items also get displayed. We have thousands of local items that will be in storage. We will have some loan to the Stephenson County Historical Society , as we have some items on loan now. They are going to look over what we have available to fill in some needs in their displays. I hope everyone gets over to see their amazing collections of Freeport area historic collectibles. We have some very rare pieces as well as some relatively common items, as any collection has.

A rare display at American Garage Art, a Swan Record Player that was made in Freeport. Only ever seen a few of them.
