THE FULTON HOUSE LIBRARY
How often have you finished the paperback book you were reading and still had a few days of vacation left? It's happened to everyone, so that's why we created our "Take One, Leave One" exchange library. Just take a new book and leave your old one. Or when you've finished your book and are leaving, just leave it for another guest's reading pleasure.
There's about 70 pocket books in The Fulton House guest library now, mostly novels, including adventure, romance, historical, thriller, mystery, etc. Something for every taste.
Our library also contains about 500 hard cover books for your enjoyment, but only during your stay at The Fulton House. We have a very extensive collection of travel books, cook books, hiking and trail books, political books, old high school and college text books and yearbooks, and a complete set of "Great Books of the Western World." We also have some valuable very old books like several "Radio Boys," "Rover Boys," and "Tom Swift" adventures, some "Baedeker Travel Guides" to London, Paris and Italy, a complete set of the 1947 edition of the "Book of Knowledge," a couple of "Uncle Wiggily" books and even some textbooks from the late 19th century.
Our old book collection is fun to page through but we ask that you not remove any of the books from the library or living room area.
On display in the room are some interesting old items and oddities like two cash register/banks and a microscope, both for youngsters, an upright Underwood typewriter, two old Kodaks, as well as some antique mirrors from a women's sitting room, and several 1930 era fly rods made from reeds, probably from China.
Have you ever seen or played an original wind-up RCA Victor Victrola? We have one and we own a collection of very old -- and very breakable, so please be very careful! -- records, including vocals and instrumentals (classical, dance and pop from the 30's and 40's).
Or have you ever played an old upright grand piano? There's one in our living room, together with some songbooks and old sheet music.
As you can imagine, your hosts, John and Wendy, make every effort to ensure that The Fulton House will become your relaxation place away from home.
