WORKING ON THE MUSEUM
Many improvements have been made to the Sanderson Museum this year. A Humidex system was installed in the basement that has vastly improved the air quality. Local handyman Eric Steckel has already cleaned out the French drain, repaired both porches, and installed the 40th anniversary plaque out front. He is planning many more repairs and improvements to take place before the 40th anniversary banquet in October.
THE MUSEUM IN THE NEWS
The Summer 2007 issue of “The Hunt” magazine featured an article called “Found Objects: Small Treasures that Speak Volumes.” The piece focused on some of the more amazing items found in area archives. A section of it looked at the Sanderson Museum, mentioning Eva Braun’s bathroom tile piece and Jennie Wade’s purse along with photos of both items. N.C. Wyeth’s barbershop sign was also mentioned. A very interesting article.
