Thanks to Museum board member Dave Nelson, we have a new flag pole and 2 brand new flags. This was originally a Memorial to Dave' s Grandfather Don Nelson. Dave and his family take great pride in keeping this monument looking good. We are very grateful to have this monument standing proud in front of our History Museum! Now we just need a good wind to make it fly proud.🇺🇸

Brett from Heritage Pest Control visited the museum today. We are very grateful for the careful inspection and thorough job he did. Thankfully we don't have any major problems but we need to keep a careful eye on the maintenance of our buildings so we can protect the local treasures we have on display. Next step, a little painting, and a good cleaning, and we will be ready for you to visit the Museum on Saturdays starting on Memorial Day weekend. (May 23)
Hope to see you all this summer!
