The museum received a wonderful donation from the Shirley family this week! The collection of items is related to the iconic BBQ restaurant, Wilber’s, that celebrated it’s 60th year in business this July. The donations include memorabilia, photos, restaurant merchandise, and MANY magazines and newspapers, all featuring articles about the restaurant and Mr. Wilber Shirley, its founder. We are excited to be able to add these pieces of local BBQ history to our displays.
It was a full capacity crowd for our Back to School Celebration for Kids today. There was a student play starring Mrs. Frizzle, arts & crafts, a scavenger hunt, face painting, a back-to-school supply giveaway sponsored by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices McMillen & Associates Realty, refreshments, and ice-cream out on our porch. Everyone had a great time at this free & fun annual event! Our kids educational event series will resume again next year. Thank you to all of our visitors, volunteers, staff, and event organizers. Have fun at school this year and study hard!
