In 1988, Cedric and Emily Shaw of Littleton retired from farming. They gathered their machinery and farming implements along with family furnishings spanning three generations. The Shaws cleaned out their barn
and
began
displaying
their
collection.
They
established
the
¿¿¿Pastime
Museum¿¿¿.
As
they
showed
visitors
through
their
displays,
the
collection
began
to
grow
with
donations
from
individuals.
In
1991,
a
group
of
local
residents
envisioned
having
a
public
museum
to
house
such
a
collection
of
memorabilia.
In
2001,
that
dream
was
realized
with
the
purchase
of
the
former
Littleton
Elementary
School.
The
Shaws
offered
to
move
their
collection
from
their
¿¿¿Pastime
Museum¿¿¿
to
the
newly
named
Southern
Aroostook
Agricultural
Museum.
Since
June
of
2002,
volunteers
have
been
busy
rebuilding
rooms,
arranging
the
many
antiques
and
paying
off
a
$51,
000.00
mortgage.
Luther
and
Kay
Grass
also
added
a
spectacular
collection
of
tools
now
housed
in
¿¿¿The
Grass
Tool
Room¿¿¿.
Other
projects
have
been:
This
Old
House,
the
model
Potato
House,
the
moving
of
the
local
Ross
Ridge
one
room
schoolhouse
into
the
museum
yard.
Our
latest
project
is
a
new
barn.
After
a
lot
of
fund
raising,
we
have
completed
a
60¿¿¿X100¿¿¿
barn
to
house
several
large
pieces
of
equipment.
With
the
help
of
the
Houlton
Rotary
Club,
Rural
Development-USDA,
Maine
Community
Foundation,
Naturally
Potatoes
and
many
individuals
this
dream
is
now
a
reality.
We
were
proud
to
name
our
barn
The
Carl
&
Helen
Hagan
Barn
after
our
President
and
his
wife.
Our
thanks
to
everyone
that
has
contributed
in
any
way
to
the
success
of
our
museum.
With
your
ongoing
support
we
will
continue
to
collect
and
preserve,
The
Heritage
of
the
County.
