This week has been even more crazy than I anticipated. I’ve alternated days of working here at the museum with days of sitting with my mother-in-law in the hospital. Prayers would be appreciated as Shirley awaits a procedure on Monday to help alleviate pain from a compression fracture in her spine.

Now I’m especially thankful that I dedicated this month’s Musings to sharing some history of the museum as we celebrate 20 years. I hope you enjoy these photos of the building of the main gallery.

Next week, we’ll take a look at what the inside looked like around the time of the dedication.

Until next week, Denise Hellwege
