Only six days remain in the Grundy County Museum’s 2019 exhibit season.
This year’s feature exhibit is “Chairs, the Stories They Could Tell,” a display of novel, unique and historic chairs associated with Grundy County’s families and businesses. Visitors can “perch” themselves on a stool from the Maid-Rite restaurant and see if it feels familiar or see a unique and ornate piano stool from the Hubbell Theater.
Since the exhibit opened on Memorial Day, two features have been added to the exhibit floor – a movie and a collection of photographs. The movie is “Scramble the Seawolves” a documentary about a highly-decorated helicopter attack squadron in which two Grundy County soldiers, pilot Eric Alexander and mechanic Larry Huffstutter, served while in Vietnam. The photo collection is a display of 10 pictures of ministers who served the Evangelical United Brethren (later known as the Crandall Methodist Church).
All museum campus buildings will be open during regular museum hours, which are 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. In October that would be Oct. 5-6, Oct. 12-13 and Oct. 19-20. Admission is $2 for adults while children under 12 and active service members and their families are admitted free.
