No, that's not a house driving through Depot Town. It is an annoucement of a YHS program next Sunday the 22nd, 2 PM at the Ladies Literary Club at 218 North Washington in Ypsi. Tom Warner tells about the fun and tears associated with buying a house and moving it across town. All are invited!

It is part of YHS's effort to keep the history of Ypsi fresh!

As part of a class at Eastern Michigan University's Historic Preservation Program, students created a room in the Ypsilanti History Center's museum that replicated a room typically occupied by a "Rosie the Riveter" during World War II.
Linda Kuba (center in picture), the granddaughter of a Rosie that lived in our musem when it was an apartment building, was present for the room's Ribbon Cutting ceremony.
Linda's family, great-granddaughters and great-great grandaughters of the original Rosie joined her for the event.
A special THANKS to Professor Nancy Bryk and her class for this special display. Our museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 2-5, closed during the Christmas holiday.
