Upstairs Hall:

     Wallace Nutting watercolors and  a marble top chest from the Lintner estate are located at the top of the stairs.

The clock on the chest is a gift from Roxie Neal and above is an original painting by Frank Soltesz, a local artist who lived in Bairdstown.  Prints have been made from this painting and are available for purchase.

The Dining Room table mirror, bookcase and clock all came from the Lintner estate.

The Naming of Blairsville:  James Campbell and Andrew Brown owned the land on this side of the Conemaugh River opposite the Baird farm.  When they heard that the new road was to have a bridge over the river at the site of the Baird farm, the decided that their land would be a good site for a town.  Campbell owned the land from the river up to where the railroad tracks are now.  He named his new town Blairsville after John Blair of Huntington who was the president of the new turnpike.  Brown own the land east of the railroad and called it Brownstown which remained until incorporated into Blairsville in 1890.  A large framed document of the bill of sale for the “Lisbon Tract” to James Campbell for 7 pounds “lawful money” on March 1, 1788 hangs in the front hall.

The library is located on the third floor of the museum and contains a variety of historical books.  The Lintner family donated over a thousand volumes.  Frank LeRoy Forsha Sr. and volunteers spent over a year cataloging and applying cover slips.  The shelving was provided by the Blairsville Public Library.
The museum is grateful for the donation of historic books, documents and photographs.

The Kitchen:

Here you will find a wonderful collection of memories:  lunch buckets, milk bottles, a Hoosier Cabinet, wooden potato masher and several heavy irons.  There’s a 1930 blue enamel gas iron that didn’t last long due to the danger it posed.
