SHEFFIELD -- A spoon bit brace, wooden shovel, mud shoes for horses; these were a few of Milt Barnum's favorite things.
For nearly 50 years, the late Sheffield native collected nearly 1,000 kitchen gadgets and farm tools; familiar and not-so obvious items that date back to the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Today, the Sheffield Historical Society is the caretaker of Barnum's prized collection with about 300 tools temporarily on display for two more weeks. The exhibit at the society's Old Stone Store on Main Street is also the first step toward creating a permanent exhibit for all to see year round, according to the nonprofit group.
