The Little Church

Back in the 1930s, Charlie Rockwell, a boy of 12 (with apparently some leanings toward the ministry)
converted a chicken coop to a church and held services for kids from the surrounding neighborhood. The efforts
ran for a number of years, with his big sister playing a small pump organ and his younger brother ushering.
The edifice was even written up in Life Magazine in the 1940s. It is now moved to the museum grounds.
The interior has cut-down church pews, hymnals, and all the needed acoutrements, cleverly salvaged.
