The Grundy County Historical Museum will be open for the season on Memorial Day, Monday, May 31.
Members of the Joseph L. Norton, Veterans of Foreign Wars, No. 919, will present a patriotic program beginning at 10 a.m. The museum, including the military building, will remain open until 4 p.m.
This season’s new exhibit is “The History of Photography.” A fully equipped dark room and life- size pinhole camera are informative and fun features of the display. Many old and “new” cameras and the history of their development are included in the display as are a poster of the known photographers of the area. Those viewing the display will recognize several of the cameras that you either owned or saw advertised – no cell phones!
The museum will be open weekends and holidays through the Missouri Day Festival, which is the third weekend in October.
