Joseph L. Norton VFW Post #919 of Trenton will present a Memorial Day Flag Raising Ceremony and rifle salute at 10 a.m. on Monday at the Grundy County Museum.
Bob Chenoweth, a Korean War veteran and past president of the museum board, will provide brief patriotic comments. Seating will be provided and the public is encouraged to arrive early.
The museum will open immediately following the flag raising program with the exhibit, “Hometown Teams.” The displays provide information about athletics, how sports teams are embedded in culture and the impact of participation in sports teams on individuals. There are two components to the exhibit, a Traveling Smithsonian exhibit and a local component that mirrors the Smithsonian display and presents specific information about sports in Grundy County.
All three buildings of the museum campus will be open until 4:30 p.m. Admission is $2 for adults and free for children under 12 and active service members and their families.
