Do you like challenges? Well, the Waynesboro Heritage Museum challenges you with a new question every couple of days and if you have the right answer you can choose from a selection of prints and books as a prize. Above is a picture of our sandwich board that is located outside the Main Street entrance whenever the museum is open (except during rain) where you will find the question challenge.When you are in downtown Waynesboro, we welcome you to come by the Museum at the corner of Main and Wayne. Try our challenge, come in and visit, there is always something new to see and learn. We look forward to meeting you. #FromTheArchives #localhistorymuseum #localhistorymatters #waynesboroheritagemuseumva #waynesborova See MoreSee Less

This Brunswick Hotel annunciator, or butler call bell, was used to indicate to hotel staff which room had rung the bell for service.The annunciator used an electrical circuit that wired each room to this central annunciator box. The remnants of the wires are visible on the top of the annunciator. A guest's depression of the call button closed the circuit, tripping a needle for the corresponding room out of its neutral position and audibly alerting staff.Waynesboro Heritage Foundation Collec#FromTheArchivesh#localhistorymuseumu#localhistorymatterst#waynesboroheritagemuseumvae#waynesborovaorova See MoreSee Less
