Heritage museum showcases memorabilia from everyday life HAZLETT VIEW - The Keeler Heritage Museum has been called "a hidden gem" by visitors who have explored its huge collection of vintage treasures. The museum is home to more than 30,000 items, displayed in four massive buildings on a repurposed farm complex. The exhibits represent the personal collection of Marvin Keeler, a lifelong resident of Hazlett View who has been gathering up local memorabilia since his childhood. Today, he is often seen relaxing in the museum's garden pavilion, where visitors can try their hand at operating the antique farm equipment on display. "It was Mr. Keeler's dream to start a museum," said facility manager Julia Halstead, who now leads tours for small groups. The museum's exhibits and historical timelines cover a variety of aspects of daily life in the region. Part of the museum shows off memorabilia from local industries, including an intact seating booth and service counter from Centralia Diner, which Mr. Keeler owned and operated until his retirement. A wide range of other historical items are on exhibit, from antique printing presses to old school uniforms. Exploring the museum, many visitors connect the exhibits with their own memories of past times. The museum is located at 1100 Ridge Road, just outside the small town of Hazlett View. It is open seven days a week, from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. Admission is $8 for adults and $5 for students. Visitors should set aside three or more hours to view all of the museum's objects in a leisurely manner. The museum also offers a membership program that allows access to a range of special events.

Review of Alerro's Bistro | by: Matt Browski |

The quality of the food at Alerro's Bistro is good, but it could be better considering the prices that are charged. I ordered a tofu burger ($13.00), a bowl of mushroom soup ($7.00), cross-cut fries ($8.00), and a "farm special" salad plate ($9.00). Everything was reasonably tasty. There are several healthy salad options, but for some reason the taco salad was removed from the menu. I've had it here before and wish it would be brought back. In general, the food here would appeal to health conscious diners who are not concerned with fancy artisanal food preparation. The most positive part of my visit was the responsiveness of the staff. Even though the small dining room was busy when I visited, I waited less than a minute for a server to arrive at my table. |
Response from: Lisa Trapani, General Manager, Alerro's Bistro
Hi Matt, Thank you for your feedback. We pride ourselves on our hospitality and, above all, our high standards for sourcing food ingredients. In particular, all of our fries are made from organically grown potatoes. As supplies have been tight this season, we recently had to source some potatoes from a different grower. Accordingly, the charge for that dish was not applied to your bill. We hope that you noticed this gesture; if not, you can confirm it by checking your receipt. We are certain we can offer you a better experience than the most recent one you had, so we would like to invite you back to our restaurant. Could you send me a message through this site and provide your e-mail address? Our customer service supervisor would like to know more about your visit. Thank you again, Lisa Trapani, www.alerro-bistro.com |
