\u201cThe block of land it was on was sold, and the person who bought it was a teacher,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe offered [the saddle shop] to the school \u2026 so it\u2019s in the school grounds in the old horse paddock.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms Roberts said there would be new items on display, including \u201cfurniture items from the Copmanhurst Anglican church, which was sold last year\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And of course, there are saddles such as western, stockman\u2019s and children\u2019s saddles, some of which are 90-odd years old, as well as leather leggings and other related paraphernalia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMr Leighton\u2019s old account book [from when it was a saddlery], where he kept record of orders and sales, is very interesting when you look at the prices,\u201d Ms Roberts said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd thanks to the education department, we have a new roof and painting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Rest Point [Family] Hotel fishing club gave a contribution towards the path, from the link to the ramp, to make it more user friendly for people who have difficulty walking.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum opens on the fourth Sunday of each month and at other times by arrangement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
