Old-Time Cribs, Glass Baby Bottles on Display at Vintage Baby

The Vintage Baby display is open at the Clague House Museum.

Museum Director Lysa Stanton put the call out in May for items for this year’s annual display.

The display, which opened a few weeks ago, gives visitors a snapshot into a baby’s life from the Civil War era through the second half of the 20th Century.

That includes potties, glass bottles, several cribs, high chairs, bassinets and toys.

Visitors can get an up close and personal look at vintage baby shoes.

Also donated or on display are more than a dozen cards and numerous wardrobe items, all for babies up to age 3.

The Clague House Museum is located at 1371 Clague Road. Visitors can see the “Vintage Baby” display by appointment.

The exhibit is free; however, donations are accepted. Contact the Westlake Historical Society at 440-808-1961 to tour the exhibit.

The display is open through September.
