Our hearts are heavy as we share the news of our dear friend and volunteer Roger Days passing. Roger would always be seen helping to make the grounds beautiful for visitors to the Museum. His passion and dedication was an inspiration and he will be GREATLY missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this time. The Museum will be CLOSED to tours Tuesday, August 12th so our volunteers can attend his celebration of life. In honor of Roger, we ask visitors today to visit the beautiful gardens he so loved. 💜
