The other night my husband's curiosity got the best of him and he insisted on climbing into our old cistern in the basement to find out just what was in there. We did find some pretty incredible items; an old gear, Detroit Free Presses from WWII, old love magazines, a medicine box from the original pharmacist who owned our home 100 years ago, and a skeleton key. It was pretty neat rummaging through everything and wondering how long some of the items have been down there or being a real detective and finding a date on something. Did you know Detroit Free Press cost 5 cents in the 1940s? Did you know there was a women's magazine printed in the 30s that women could submit love stories for judging and publication? It was a fun adventure for our family and a cool perk of living in such an old home.
