Goblin Circus Stiltwalker

“Witches’ Apothecary” Shooting Gallery

Shooting Gallery

Exhibit Caption:

The largest box in the boxcar contained many small objects that appear to be targets for a shooting gallery or ball toss game. The name comes from a description given to the collection by the auctioneer who presided over the eventual sale of the contents of the boxcar. The largest collection of targets were lost in a barn fire on the auctioneer’s property.
