Spring and summer bring lots of outdoor projects…and outdoor beauty too! 🌺
Thanks to Baragary Construction we’ll now have a smooth sidewalk path leading up to the museum. The City of Syracuse also pitched in to help with the job and street access. We are grateful for the support of our local businesses and all of our volunteers!
Today would be an awesome day to come check out all the improvements…and take a stroll in the garden. 🪴 We’re open 1pm-4pm

If you’re in town honoring loved ones or celebrating reunions and graduations…consider making a quick visit to the museum. We’re open today from 1-4!

Each spring we look forward to the SDA Elementary 3rd graders visit. It is awesome to see their interest and willingness to learn. Thank you to the teachers and elementary school staff who make this happen!

We wrapped up the Winter Speaker Series in style on Sunday, March 22! Janet Jeffries brought Nebraska's pioneer heritage to life with music and stories. Spring can't arrive soon enough! The museum will reopen on Saturdays, starting May 2.

Something new and exciting is coming soon to the museum! A huge thank you to our amazing volunteers Pam Henke, Brenda Steinhoff, Carol Wallman, Jan Zeiger, and Dean Shissler for their hard work last week. We also want to extend a warm welcome to our newest team members Carla Clymer and Kathi Weiler. Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare for spring and summer!

Thank you to all who came out on Sunday for Dan Worth’s talk about the Dr. Susan La Flesche Picotte Hospital building restoration.
An amazing story…and transformation of this historic building into a beautiful cultural center and thriving modern-day facility.
