The next temporary museum exhibit opening on October 6 will be based upon the vast collection given to the Historical Society by Bill Corle. He spent years collecting head gear used by military personnel and first responders from around the world. As a part of this exhibit, Nita Wesson has provided three
of America's birthday hats and two special signs to be given away in a drawing on Veterans Day. Be sure to come in and enjoy the exhibit and sign up for the drawing, you do not need to be present to win one of them.
