Lanterns: on the farm, at home, in the military, and out camping.

In the early 1900’s, when electricity wasn’t plentiful and light bulbs weren’t all that bright, America needed a better and brighter way to light its home and farms. Enter Coleman lamps and lanterns, Sunshine of the Night!

Come see examples of early Coleman lamps, lanterns, stoves and heaters and learn about the science that makes them work.

Local resident David Skeval is a collector of Coleman and other brands of gas pressured appliances. He enjoys restoring and repairing Coleman appliances to working condition and has over 70 different models of lamps, lanterns, stoves and heaters.
