Hearts and Hands Prepare for Quilt Show

Dayton 4 Club members showed up Monday to weed, rake and sweep. What a wonderful surprise!  A big thank you to the kids and their moms.

Quilt Show is Saturday 9-5 and Sunday 1-4 at the historic Rock Gym. Vintage quilts will be displayed at the Old Jail during the quilt show. Hope to see you there!

Time to Get Out Grandma's Recipe Box

Calling all cooks! The Historical Society is publishing a collection of multi-generational recipes. Have some you'd like to share? We are looking for recipes from daughters, moms, grandmothers, great grandmothers, aunts...You get the idea. And we would love to include your multi-generational photo. So, please send photos and recipes to SSCHS, PO Box 523, Greenwood AR 72936. We need these by the end of the month, please. No original photos, please. Be sure to include your name and contact information.

Cookbooks will be published in time for Christmas gift-giving and will be reasonably priced.

Call for Vintage Quilts

If you would like to loan a vintage quilt for display at the Museum during the Airing of the Quilts, we will be accepting them at 1:00 PM, Wednesday May 16 at the Old Jail. You'll be asked to complete a short form giving information about the quilt.

Today's Visitors

Greenwood elementary school students began their annual visits to the museum complex today. Students and volunteers enjoyed the opportunity to explore the exhibits and learn a litte local history.

Docents Dodge Deluge

Yesterday we had a steady rain a good part of the day, but it didn't deter a group of our docents from coming to the Museum to see what's new for the 2012 season. We are blessed with wonderful volunteers!

Have you ever considered donating a couple of hours of your time now and then? We are always in need of folks who can welcome visitors, but also need extra hands to care for the grounds or do special projects. It's not necessary to be a member (though we'd love to have you!).

Volunteering at the Museum can be a great learning opportunity for home schoolers or a wonderful service project for high schoolers, too.

Those of us who spend a lot of time here see the parents who bring their toddlers, moms who bring prom-going couples for photos, brides and grooms who marry at the log cabin, and walkers on their way to the trail who check on our flowers. We see what a focal point the Museum District is to the community. We invite all ages and abilities to join us in preserving our history and keeping our Museum district beautiful and functioning. If you're interested in participating, please contact us at SSCHS, P.O. Box 523, Greenwood, AR 72936.
