It was pleasure to host the distinguished Dr. Melodie K. Moorehead today at FCHMS. It is such a privilege to have visitors who celebrate their deep, local roots and share that journey with them. Dr. Moorehead brings a profound respect for Franklin County and the preservation of our history. Thank you, Dr. Moorehead, for inspiring support and keeping your family’s legacy alive. We cannot wait to welcome you again soon!

The noise complaint department hung up on us!!

We called to warn them about the upcoming Fiddlers concert on July 26, and they said, “Look, if the bows aren’t catching fire, we don’t want to hear about it.”🎻💥

RUMOR CHECK!
No, we did not hire Hollywood actors.
We are still talking about these two incredibly good looking visitors. Look how they embody history with grace, style and absolute glamour. From the impeccable tailoring to the effortless poise, they brought a touch of magic to the museum today! Thank you both for sharing your incredible style with us and reminding us all how beautiful history can be.

FUNNY STORY! A baby goat broke into the museum. She is currently chewing on an oil painting and jumping on the artifacts. Legally, she is the director now. 🐐😉

NAME THIS DOLL!!
We found this doll in a dark corner of the house. She currently enjoys occupying your peripheral vision, speaking Latin and visiting your nightmares. Find her in the Scavenger Hunt tomorrow! (Not liable for any unforeseen curses)

ORIGINAL TINDER:
Meet Silas. He likes long walks, salt pork and not dying of dysentery. He dislikes indoor plumbing and smiling. Find his portrait on the Scavenger Hunt and give him a polite nod. He won’t nod back but we’ll appreciate the effort.
