Derby Day Coming to Museum

A crowd of sixty-six enjoyed last night's presentation by Judge David Hudson on the colorful history of our county's two courthouses. We welcomed eight new members. An ambitious slate of spring activities was presented. Curator Sue Lewis announced a Spring museum opening date of May 2 and shared plans for this year's displays.

Next month's Society meeting will feature guest speaker Joseph Chasteen, historian for the Chaffee Development Authority who will present on Center City and other communities that were located in the area of the current Fort Chaffee. Members were invited to bring family photos of families and homes in these communities for a "show and tell" at next month's meeting.

Donna Goldstein announced plans for a May 4 celebration in conjunction with a display of vintage hats at the Old Jail Museum. All are welcome. Please bring the family out and enjoy a fun day on the Museum grounds.
