In honor of Amazon Prime days🤣!Mrs. Bible sent a lot of money at the Birch Shop!!! I wonder what she bought. Maybe an ice cream sundae, candy, or a souvenir. She must have made a special stop to see Marquita and catch up on the island news.

Did you know that our lighthouse was automated in 1924? Here are pictures from the first tower and our current tower. Its light still shines to guides ships around Lighthouse Point.

Last year I started an island cabin sign display on the back of the museum. I’m still looking for old signs to be displayed. If you have one and would like to donate it to the museum please let me know.

This is one of my personal favorites that is being repaired right now. For those of you who knew Uncle Tom Carey you will remember his sign. He was definitely an island historic person and quite a character!

TBT is a two question quiz this week.
1. Do you know where this is?
2. Do you know the two people?

I can tell you that it’s been in the tree for a VERY LONG time. I remember seeing it when I was a kid.

Let’s go back to August of 1947 and take a ride in a Woody Cruiser! This picture is one of many in Bo Halls collection of the Yacht Club area. They are headed out for a great adventure! I bet it was a fun time!

The two houses are Restawhile now owned by Jane Fisher (where the boat is coming out from) and Susie Fishers house on the right now owned by her sons.

I had a guest today ask me if I know who this person is. It was taken on the Eastend by the Vosper home about 25-30 years ago. I don’t know, do you?

I LOVE OUR COMMUNITY!!! I put the challenge out to you this morning to see if I could get 50 people in the museum today. I had 62 people come in today!! THANK YOU EVERYONE!! I’m also happy with how many of you said you follow our FB page.

We had an AWESOME year at the museum and our events! I just finished doing all the statistics. We had 946 people visit the museum this year and 593 people attend all of our events. WOW! You ROCK!

Our guest book showed 703 people representing 26 states and 4 countries, Finland, Mexico, Italy and Chile! Thanks for letting us know where you visited from.

I cannot say enough about our WONDERFUL VOLUNTEERS who donate their time to run the museum. They are the BEST! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Today is your last chance to come to the museum this year. I HOPE YOU CAN STOP BY!! I will be there from 10-2. If you have never been in the museum it should be on your MUST DO list. Come see the new displays, purchase some island historical brochures and become a member!

On Memorial Day Saturday I had 46 people stop in, I’m hoping to break that number today. With the amount of people on the island right now it should be possible. Please put the museum on your to do list for today!
