The Saxonburg Museum, 199 N. Rebecca St., Saxonburg, has a few new displays that evoke the sights and smells of a bygone era.

Fred Cesar, the museum’s volunteer curator, said the new items include a peanut roaster and a popcorn machine that used to be in the G.W. Maurhoff General Store on the borough’s Main Street.

In addition, Carrie Harbison donated a stereoscope that had been in her family for generations. The stereoscope’s two lenses angle the vision of two separate pictures into a single three-dimensional image. It is believed to date back to the 1890s.

The museum is currently open only for scheduled tours. To schedule a tour, email in advance to SaxonburgMuseum@gmail.com.
