July tho twenty-third between the houri of two-thirty and
five o'clock. Refreshments were later icrved at Snyder Sc
lluwiirds.
The glassware aectlon of the museum attracted much at
tention and pleasant comment, Perhaps the most outstanding
display In this department la Mri. Schmlnck'i collection of 43
different styles of goblets from early American pressed glass.

collecting.
A aoup tureen was display
cd that had crossed the con
tinent In covered wagon In
the year 1845, when Mrs.
Schmlnck's mother comes to
Oregon. The ' history of this
'huge tureen can be traced
back to the year 1838, and
undoubtedly has a history be
fore that time, which is now
untraceable.
A set of plates that be
lonited to Mrs. Schmlnck's
mother, and the water pitcher
thai stood on the judge's
stand in the old Lake county
courthouse were also shown
to the group.
Around twenty quilts ot
different patterns were dls-
dlnynd. Theno quilts had been
nude by Mrs. Schmlnck, her
mother, and mnther-ln-law.
Many of the patterns were
tsken from old quilt patterns
and were much larger than
our present day quilts. The
most outstanding quilt of this
assemblage was one of an
original pansy design cre
ated by Mrs. Schmlnck.
One of the oldest pieces in
the museum is a pewter tea
pot which belonged to a New
England family by the name
of Chase in the year 1791.
The museum also contains
the original by-laws of the
Mt. Pleasant church of Ore
gon City, the first Baptist
church established in Oregon.
The Schmlnck museum was
started in 1838 by Mr. and
Mrs. D. C. Schmlnck. The
Qnuseum originated from the
fact that many people would
stop at the Schmlnck home
to see their many curios and
old pieces, many of which
hud belonged to their parents
and ancestors and which the
Schminck'a had. carefully pre
served. Tho showing of these
articles often times necessi
tated much packing and un
packing to put them on dis
play, so the Idea was formu
lated to have them on display
in their Urge basement.
The museum soon won
wide-spread interest and
friends and visitors began
contributing articles to- the
collection, so that today the
museum would be a definite
credit to a community much
larger than Lake county.
Everything in the 'museum is
cataloged.
Q Aside from the many arti
cles and pieces on display
there are several books full
; of data and clippings which
tho Schmlnck's have gath
; crcd. They are working to
! wards the end of gathering
: as much authentic Informa
', lion as posslblo covcslng the
' articles in the museum, Lake
i county, and tho settling of
' tho Oregon country.
Sometime in the future the
museum will go to the
; DuiiRhtcrs of the American
. tlni.nhitinn b,,H will iaV in
