MUSEUM OPEN HOUSE AND VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION EVENT
Held Monday April 13
You guys missed a good one! A small but lively turnout enjoyed a feast for kings, fellowship, and viewed some of the latest videos produced by the museum. The group discussed some of the upcoming plans and new exhibits to be fielded this year.

The museum recently received a donation from the Keith Welch Family of artifacts from NASA that Keith collected when he was an official NASA stenographer. He was there on July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong uttered those famous words “One small step for man…” transcribing the radio broadcasts from the moon.

A temporary display has been set up, with a much expanded display planned soon. Follow us on Facebook for the latest happenings and events!
