@freightlinerfld1229 The video is in 2 channel stereo...aka music and sounds play on one side, narration on the other.

Good for you! Amazing how most other historical societies/museums cry and b+tch about the number of visitors and amount of interest; yet only make their items and information available passively. You're a fine model of learning and service.

My grandfather could probably add to this collection if he were still alive. He was the road commisioner for hebron for 20 years or so until a few years ago when he passed. He had a lot of old equipment. i cant imagine trying to keep all the roads clear in maine with all the snow they get
