The Memorial Room
At the Saguache County Museum

Dr Shippey's Office Early Defibrillator

The Memorial Room was added in the 1970s to honor past residents of Saguache.

You can visit the office of Dr. Shippey, who practiced in Saguache for 40 years as a doctor, dentist, and barber.  He was probably the coroner also.

The images above show items from Dr. Shippey's office.  Of special interest is the early defibrillator, one of the first of its kind.

Arrowheads from the Glen Curtis and Fred Syfried collections are in abundance.  (The comment "No wonder I can't find one, they are all in this Museum.") is often overheard at the Museum.

The Shellabarger display of superb English and American guns is another favorite.
