Every item in our museum is a window into someone’s life. That’s one of the reasons why the collection here is so interesting. Just as interesting as people’s things, though, are their words, and those can be a little harder to display. This is why we’re excited to announce Homesteaders and Pioneers, a new addition to the website which features insightful interviews and brief biographies of local homesteaders and pioneers, granting us a personal view into the lives of those who forged our community.

These interviews and biographies are enjoyable to read, and we hope you learn something from them. They really have a lot of character.

Stay tuned to this page for continued updates as more and more entries are shared, and be sure to come to the museum to see the files in person.
