The building our museum is in was once The Marble and Granite Cemetery Memorial Business. It was established in New Freedom by W. C. Meads on April 1, 1892, who operated the business until 1902 when he retired. The business was purchased by H.N. Bailey, who served a 3-year apprenticeship under Meads and worked as a journeyman until his retirement. The business continued to be conducted under the name of H.N. Bailey Marble and Granite Works until his death in 1943. It was then converted to Janson's Restaurant by Mrs. Ada B. Janson Taylor. Later the building was bought and used by Lauer Mann Insurance Company. It is now The Heritage Museum of New Freedom.
