A Warm Welcome to Our Summer Students!

June 14, 2021

While much of this year has looked very different for us here at the Museum, we were very excited and fortunate to still be able to hire two summer students to help us keep everything running smoothly. We may not have been open to the public due to COVID-19, but we have been very busy behind the scenes! While we have been closed we have been very focused on our collection and entering our artifacts into our database so that they can be accessible to the public online.

Our summer students have been very busy helping us to photograph, list, and enter our collection into the database.
