Hiram's Honor is a terrific book about a private in the Civil War. The author, Max Terman will be at the Museum on August 29, 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. for a book signing. Joining him will be Civil War re-enactors, including Jacob Parrott. Mr. Terman will bring a limited supply of the book (to purchase) with him. Mark the day on your calendar.
Before coming to the Museum, be sure to stop in the downtown area for the Farmer's Market. The Farmer's Market happens every Saturday morning. It is a great place to stock up on locally grown and produced items - from veggies, baked goods, baskets, rugs, flowers..........

After the event
The Hog Roast is now history. Not bad for a first time. We did not make any profit, but comments were positive and plans are in the works for 2010. Thanks to the Whitaker Brothers for performing well beyond the time they were paid for. What a great group of people!!
Wonderful Wednesdays was............WONDERFUL! The month of July went by so fast, I can't believe it is over. The children had a great time and we hope they learned something along the way. We may have a whole new generation of weavers and spinners. Many, many thanks to Sue Brown, Marlene Marker, and Cathy Taylor for being the instructors. Also many thanks to the volunteers Gloria Patton, her grand daughters Brittany and Lindsey, Sue Sanders, and Linda Martel. Couldn't have done it without you. Brittany and Lindsey have become Museum supporters. We were talking one day about doing the program next year. The following week they came to me with a plan - very professionally presented. They are terrific young ladies and were great role models for the younger children.
