Hi, I’m Sarah.

Someone asked my mom if I’ve always been like this, and she immediately said yes and told a story about when I was 10 years old and took pictures of gravestones. To be fair, I was taken to a cemetery to visit family where I found a gravestone with my name on it; first, middle, and last. I still have a picture of it to this day. All this just to say that I have always liked macabre, old things. Is it any wonder then, that I grew up to collect antiques from the most macabre era, obsessed with death and the after life, and turned it into a museum?

I became a librarian for my love of books and history, earned my degree in library science and archiving. I volunteered at a Victorian house museum, worked on the board, and assisted as a curator for a time. And while I like working in those fields, there is nothing like sharing the stories of the weird Victorians and hearing people laugh and oooh and aaah. I hope you’ll let me tell you a story, or two.
