(Picture and included verbiage below credit: Toinette Madison.) Yesterday...a holiday acknowledging Good Friday and all it stands for...the Museum family sadly lost what may be considered as our own 'guiding light' of sorts. With solemn heart, it must be reported that Judge Roger Logan has passed away. He was not only a mainstay of education, experience, expertise, and critical knowledge for the museum; but he was also instrumental toward the forming, maintaining, assistance, and the sustainability of the Museum itself. We would have been a ship without a rudder without his guidance. While these may seem like such grandiose words...they do not fall silent on this man! He always carried himself with distinction and presence. This museum relishes his memory and will always treasure all the opportunities he made possible and the honorable dedicated service given for Boone County. Godspeed Judge Logan! ... See more

This is our current sign on our cherished museum. We are seeking a local, talented Boone County Wood Worker/Handy-Person for a small, but very important project. Services offered need to be 'volunteered' only. Of course we can pay for any supplies if required...but the less financial impact on this non-profit and community treasure, the better. New building acquisitions like what we have sought for years and just now near fulfilling, and establishing expensive brand new displays and service options always open to the public because of this needed expansion....are never cheap. We seek YOUR help with producing 1-2 signs of nearly identical fashion and size as the main museum sign depicted in the picture, but with 'slightly' different wording. The new sign(s) will adorn our newly acquired annex building, and we will soon have a grand opening. Signage will need to be in-place within 4-5 weeks. This is a pretty big deal to volunteer for, as the new building addition will expand our community services significantly, and it is a great thing to be a part of. We always strive to celebrate openly and often, the generous offerings made by our neighbors to this valued institution. This is a historic moment for OUR museum. Light electrical knowledge is a plus. Email all offerings of such a justified volunteer project to: bchm@windstream.net. We are grateful to our beautiful and amazing county for ALL of your support! As always....WE NEED YOU! ... See more

Love it!!!!

...From our wonderful museum....Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! 2022 is gearing up to be a busy, but great year! Best wishes to all!!!!!

The 'museum' is looking forward to 2022 with immediate plans of growth in our offered services and even an expansion of usable space for new and exciting displays and historical document storage and presentation. These are exciting times for sure. The only reason this is even possible, is by the direct support by our community and the selfless, dedicated work of our amazing volunteers. We have so much more work to do, and WE NEED YOU! With specific rooms of interests needing your creative influence and passion, and of course an abundance of other opportunities to capitalize upon including clerical, customer service, education, organization, new/existing displays, document preservation, fund-raisers, and other unique projects, there is something for everyone of all ages to 'feed' their passion and make a real difference. If you have extra time to offer, and you love the act of caring for Boone County's history and treasures while also seeking to preserve ALL of our legacies, give Patrick a call at 870-741-3312. Let's start the new year right! ... See more
