What's New for 2024!
The Museum's summer exhibit is worth a peek! Service and Secrets: Organizations That Help Our Communities takes a look at some of the area's service groups - from the Masons to the Knights of Pythias. Check out the Masonic apron worn by Colonel Burwell. Have a look at some Oddfellows' regalia, and read about the Lion's Club who work so hard in our community.
The Museum's permanent collection has increased over the winter! Now residing inside the museum is the 23 foot lifeboat from the Henry Steinbrenner cargo ship that sailed the Great Lakes - and it has some stories to tell!
