We've asked each of our staff to choose a favorite item from one of the many online collections. This artifact was selected from the online collection of the McLeod County History Museum by Jennessa.

Jennessa says, "Some of my favorite things in museum collections are the novelty items created to celebrate different events. This Bicentennial tape dispenser is a perfect example and includes an image of one of my favorite Philadelphia treasures, the Liberty Bell. Since America's 250th celebration is in full swing, I am excited to see what items are created for this year's events!"

We are asking each of our staff to choose a favorite item from one of the many online collections. Allison found this postcard in the Railroad Museum's online collection.

Allison writes: "I’m deeply accustomed to the promise of snow after a lifetime of Mid-Atlantic winters, but the phrase “perpetual snow” feels much more threatening than dreamy to me. This postcard, however, instantly plastered a huge grin on my face as I imagined this ride. Laughing with my loved ones in a cozy railcar, mugs of coffee and hot cocoa in our hands, while the world moves around us with such an awe-inspiring sight? Pure bliss."
