THANK YOU FOR HELPING PRESERVE OUR HISTORY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. We greatly appreciate those who support the Historical Society with their yearly membership dues. These dues go towards annual expenses such as insurance, maintenance fees, office supplies, etc. Donations and memorials help fund special projects each year. The past five years have been challenging for us as we dismantled our exhibits, sorted through artifacts and moved them into our temporary storage in an old fire station before the museum was demolished. We have been working on plans for the new museum and welcome you to stop by and see what we have been working on. In our small work area we have been busy unpacking, sorting, and trying to determine which artifacts to use and &quot;stories to tell&quot; in the new museum.&nbsp; On January 27, 2026 we were excited to participate with the city in the groundbreaking ceremony for the new museum building. The city expects the building to be completed around the end of October 2026. It is up to us to raise money to finish the interior displays. However, the original volunteers who created the museum exhibits 33 years ago are no longer with us so we are going to need help from volunteers with construction skills to pull this off. &nbsp;We are continually looking for additional grant sources and we recently secured one grant to hire an exhibit curator to help us with a few of our exhibit designs. We are hoping to recreate several &nbsp;bigger and more &nbsp;interactive and &ldquo;hands on&rdquo; exhibits to take the place of some of the &nbsp;original ones. (See the back page for more details.) In addition to attending an 8 week course on Designing Exhibits, we have visited several museums around &nbsp;the state and have brought back many ideas we can use to make sure &ldquo;our stories are preserved for future generations.&nbsp; The Grimm house will be open for tours on the Tuesday Market days from 3:00-7:00 June through August, during Aquafest from July 10-12th from 12 to 6pm and July 4th from 11-3. We are in desperate need of volunteers for these events. &nbsp;Even a 2 hour shift for one of these events would be greatly appreciated. We are also in need of volunteers to help with the planting and upkeep of the garden and watering in the hot summer months.
