The Museum is now closed for the season. Visitors were down significantly this year, but we had guests from as far away as Belgium, and our largest group was 15. There are fewer and fewer locals left each year who can share stories of their experiences with Hans and Missy. I see I need to begin recording these stories as well, as I’m not getting any younger either.

My favorite Hans Kleiber story was told to me by Claire Leon. She reported that at Hans Kleiber’s funeral, someone mentioned: “Hans brought me to his favorite place on the mountain.” Others chimed in that he’d brought them there too- then they realized he’d brought every person to a different place -“his favorite place on the mountain.” Isn’t that a beautiful thought? He loved the mountains so much that he gave each person a different place to remember as his “favorite.” I love that!❤️❤️ Have a good day.
