A nostalgic trip back to the Haute-Marne of the 1900s: "The woman of the house makes gloves, the man produces steel lace scissors (the village speciality: a showcase displays rare models), their barn, upstairs, a classroom ...
The art of glove-making is also on display, with an area dedicated to this traditional craft from Chaumont and the surrounding area. A showcase reminds us that Tréfousse employed 6,000 people in the Haute-Marne during its heyday.
Sewing tools specific to glove-making and a few models are on display in the museum. One of the gloves was even found in the United States thanks to the Internet!
New: the only one of its kind in Haute-Marne, the dog wheel is in working order. Toys area.
