What a fascinating quarterly program last night. Thank you to Matt Hopper and Larry Warren from LIVOVA for giving us a great overview of the American Legion, the knots ten year old “new building” and so much more. What an informative evening. Thanks to Don Alson for the authentic Italian lasagna and to Tena for the delicious cheesecake. Thanks to LICOVA for hosting us. Our next quarterly program is January 19, 2027.

Don't forget to RSVP:

Our next quarterly program will be held this Tuesday, October 20 at 6:30pm and it will be a conversation about our Military. We will be moving venues for this program and we will hold it at the LiCOVA building at 909 Washington Street in Chillicothe. The program portion is FREE and open to the public. The program itself will begin at approximately 7pm. Matt Hopper will be our main speaker, but he may invite some special guests to speak as well.

Our optional dinner will be an Italian feast including lasagna, breadsticks, salad, and a yummy dessert of cheesecake. Dinner is $15. Dinner begins before the program at 6:30pm. We require a reservation and--specifically for this event due to the size of the building--we cannot accommodate any walk-ins. Please RSVP via email [email protected] or text (or call) our Curator Dustin directly at 617. 504. 4993.

Thank you and hope to see you there!

Reminder: Our Quarterly Program is this coming Tuesday, October 20. We will be hearing from Matt Hopper about military and veteran history of our area. Dinner is lasagna, salad, breadsticks, and cheesecake with iced tea or water. Our program is always free to the public, and if you'd like to join us for dinner that is $15.00 per person.

Please RSVP to:
[email protected]
or directly to Dustin at 617.504.4993 (texts are best).

This program is at LICOVA (rather than our usual place): 909 Washington St, Chillicothe, MO.

Due to the seating we won't be able to accommodate walk-ins for this event, so all those planning to eat or just attend the event will need to RSVP. Thank you.

We are SO close to finishing the grant match for our Bethel AME grant. Thanks to the generosity of Ed Milbank we have a match of $3,500, that once matched with an additional $3,500 will get our project fully funded. Would you consider a gift of $35, or perhaps $350 to get us closer to our goal? Every penny of that will be matched by Ed Milbank's donation.

You can send a check: Grand River Museum, 1401 Forest Drive, Chillicothe, MO 64601
Or online: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/donate-to-continue-our-mission-in--2026
Zeffy doesn't charge us fees; however, it will ask if you'd like to donate the card processing fees and offers an amount for that service which you can change to zero. Either way, our organization gets 100% of the gift through Zeffy.

Thank you in advance.

Our Fiber Gals won't be at their regular home at our Bethel AME Church building for their September meeting, but even better, you can catch them doing live demonstrations at the Chautauqua in the park starting today and tomorrow, September 12-13. You'll see knitting, weaving, spinning, and so much more. For those who love traditional arts, this is a fun, free addition to the Chautauqua.
