WOLF CREEK HERITAGE MUSEUM NOTES by Virginia Scott MUSEUM HAPPENINGS Expanding a museum is a lot like building a new house, school, etc. We have to decide where the sofa goes, what book or what shelf ? The only problem is when we move one object, it effects at least three others. We are having fun and will be glad when our initial exhibits are in place. The parking lot is looking great and should be finished for our fundraiser. We still need auction items so if you have a quilt, jewelry,painting, etc. that you would like to donate to the museum for the auction, bring it by the museum or call us and we will pick it up. FUNDRAISER REMINDER: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2014 AT 6 PM. R.J. VANDERGRIFF, ENTERTAINMENT, Silent auction. Tickets are $25 single, $40 couple. Call for reservations to museum 806-852-2123 or ask any board member for tickets.
HISTORICAL MUSINGS The month of October is Archives Month. This year will focus on the preservation of our Digital records and to increase public awareness of the importance of preserving historical treasures and making them available for use by present and future generations. Throughout the month across the state, different archives will hold events opening their archives to the general public. You can find out more information at the state website www.thrab.org. The museum has an archive of county newspapers, books written by county citizens, publication on the county, and maps. These have been used by various levels of students and authors. Our new research room will house the newspaper, obituaries, and other resource books. We look forward to sharing our archives with others. Come see us. |
