On Friday, October 9 the Museum was the recipient of a very generous donation from Brenda Clark. The money came from her daughter's trust that was created when DeeAnna was diagnosed with cancer in 1985. The money is to be used to replace the roof on the Beech Grove School. Thanks to a local contractor, the work has begun. This contractor has always been very good to the Museum, donating most of his labor. Thanks Grindell Masonry!!! (see the article in October 10 Kenton Times) With a $1000 grant from Mid Ohio Energy and proceeds from the Hog Roast and a bequest, we will have enough money to also put a new roof on the woodworker's shop.
Brenda also personally donated $500 to be used to replenish the supplies for the School. This was so awesome.
While the Farm Museum has been put to sleep for the winter months, stop out to see the progress and watch for the re-opening in the Spring. We would like to invite all Hardin County Schools and any other schools to spend a day in the Beech Grove School. The children have a wonderful time pretending to be children in 1860.
