This is the Liverpool Willow Museum which is located on the lawn of the Gleason Mansion. It commemorates the Liverpool weaving industry which supported the village for many years and the way of life back then. The museum was built in the late 1800s by John and Anna Hurst. Originally located behind their home at 814 Oswego Street, the shop was moved to its present location, 314 Second Street, in the fall of 1991. The building was a gift to the village of Liverpool from the children of John and Anna Hurst to be used as a museum. The shop was typical of the many willow shops that stood and still stand in village backyards. The whole family would be involved with the business. They made different types of willow baskets including laundry baskets as well as furniture and decorative items. The shops were both a workplace and a social center. The Hurst family carried on the willow business in the shop from the late 1800s until 1929 when cheaper foreign imports put most Liverpool willow makers out of business. The museum is operated by the Historical Association of Greater Liverpool.

This is Iris during a rainstorm. She showed up about 6 months ago, and spends the majority of her time on our driveway... usually in our screened in gazebo. She follows me down the drive when I check mail or run out to get the newspaper. She has a food bowl on the back porch and likes to sleep on our lawn furniture. Recently she's begun allowing me to pick her up. We've let her in the house 6 times... twice when the other cats were out and about. No fights... our hope is that she can move in before winter.
