Who is Bruno Lazzaroni?

At most museums, there are thousands of artifacts. If their fortunes are good, these pieces of history include the artifact’s back story. The five-dollar word describing this back story is provenance.  Too often, the provenance of an artifact gets lost between years and owners.  However, there some pieces cry out to have their story heard and the small clues they leave behind expose a rich history.  This is the case with the Dunbar Popcorn Wagon that was donated to the Farm two years ago by Ron Bernardi.

Dear friends,

Thinking about how important our volunteers are at the Farm, I’m reminded of a story that took place almost 200 years ago. The main character of the story is a young Frenchman who was sent to America to figure out how we were doing so well with democracy, and how the French might be able to improve their not-so-successful efforts.

It's Fair Time!!
