The curatorial collection consists of items as varied as furniture, memorabilia, musical instruments, and textiles. The textile collection, one of the largest, has examples of clothing and accessories from the early 19th century through mid-20th centuries. One prized garment includes Richard Coulter's army jacket from the Mexican War.

The Hanna's Town site is an archaeological treasure because it is a sealed time capsule from an early and important period in the history of our county. The site has already produced in excess of one million artifacts that are currently cataloged and stored at various locations on and off site. These artifacts can be extremely instructional to the community at large. Plans are underway to make significant displays available to the general public. These resources are appealing to archaeological professionals and students interested in the material culture of the waning British colonial frontier and the emerging American republic.
