General Murray

The Museum just had a visit from Brigader General Murray, his wife, and father. We are so proud and honored to have his picture in the General's Gallery. Saturday he was honored by having the Cherry St. Park renamed for him. What do you say to a person like him? I admit I was a little nervous when he walked in the door. He and his family soon put me at ease. What a GREAT man. After I explained to him the saga of the Jacob Parrot Medal, he even offered to look into it for us. How cool is that??? By the way, if you haven't thanked a military person lately, please remember to do so.

Hiram's Honor

Hiram's Honor is a new Civil War book about the 82nd Ohio. The author Max Terman, will do a book signing at the Farm Museum, tentatively scheduled for August 29. Mark your calendars. We are looking forward to the event. More details will be posted here and on our web site.

We now have a copy of the book at the Museum, which I have started to read. It is a wonderful story.

Many thanks to Richard Fink for bringin this author and his new book to our attention.

Gene Autry Days are upon us. Our local Chamber and Business Alliance puts on a quality show the last weekend of June. Be sure to stop in the Museum after you visit Gene Autry Days. We have created a special tribute to Gene Autry, which includes a sports coat worn by Gene in 1975.
