Stanley Museum

Preserving the heritage of Stanley family genius

The Stanley Museum commemorates and preserves the heritage of Stanley family genius. The famous "Stanley Steamer" automobile was invented by Francis Edgar Stanley and manufactured by him and his twin brother, usually referred to as the Stanley twins, F.E. and F.O. The sister, Chansonetta, is equally important for her photographs depicting rural, turn-of-the-20th-century American life. The Museum is housed in the erstwhile Stanley School, named after the Stanleys in 1905. The exhibits cover all facets of Stanley family history and memorabilia — airbrush painting and photography, violins and examples of Stanley steam cars from 1905, 1910, and 1916.
