🚨 **Museum Alert: Urgent Call for Assistance**

It is with immense disappointment that we share news of another break-in at the Kerbyville Museum and History Center earlier this week. Regrettably, our schoolhouse and cherished miner's cabin fell victim to thieves who absconded with the iconic whiskey stills—precious symbols of Illinois Valley's heritage.

The loss of these stills strikes a deep blow to our museum, leaving a void in our exhibits and in the heart of our community's history.

**We need your help!** To aid in the recovery of these invaluable artifacts, a reward of $100.00 has been issued. Any information leading to the safe return of the whiskey stills is greatly appreciated. You can report any information to the Josephine County Sheriff's Department referencing Case #23-1152.

Your assistance is crucial in restoring these vital pieces of our shared heritage. We're immensely grateful for the ongoing support of our community.

Let's stand together to safeguard our history and preserve the essence of Kerbyville's legacy.

Just want to thank our beautiful community for all their support. The Kerbyville Museum and History Center will be closing this season down, the last day will be October 1st, 2023 and will reopen in April of 2024.
