HERITAGE CENTER EXHIBIT
The “RAY CAHILL BARBER SHOP” has been constructed as a semi-permanent exhibit utilizing the original cabinetry, fixtures and furniture from Rays barbershop. It displays the bottles, signage, clock, and numerous other original items including the original matchbooks that were in the shop decades ago. This nostalgic gathering place for area residents for nearly 50 years is authentic in every way possible. Planning by the Cahill Exhibit Committee began nearly a year ago headed by Marilyn Van Sant and, in consultation with Avis Cahill Evenson the committee, consisting of Tom Torke, Bumpy Sense, Bill Gover, Jim Moeller, Tom Manley and Steve Scanlan has recently completed construction and furnishing of the exhibit. With the assistance of many volunteers they have performed a remarkable restoration of the deteriorated items which have been in storage for decades. The following images show the phases of the creation of this exhibit.
