FIELD TRIP

Learn about an early pioneer home at the Brose house with Shauna Robinson leading the tour. We will learn about the nearby Larsen Cemetery,not to be confused with the Rock Creek Cemetery or the Pioneer Cemetery at the Stricker Ranch. Last year, Louis Zamora led us on a tour in this area and we are looking forward to seeing him again as we go to the canal "forks", and the Rock Creek Siphon. We will also visit the Stricker Ranch, where volunteers will show and tell us about the family and Rock Creek Station. Trans IV is again providing the bus, which leaves the museum at 10 am and will return about 4 pm. (The museum will be closed this day.) Admission is free but donations are gratefully accepted.

PICNIC !
Thursday, August 22, we are having a picnic at the museum with hot dogs, cake and ice cream, (sound familiar?) Starts at noon and lasts until 1:30.
County Commissioners and Twin Falls Parks and Waterway employees have been invited, so stop in and visit with them. There is no charge and we'd love have historical society members come by. Many people don't know the county parks department takes care of mowing the lawn and the underground sprinkler system as well as many extra activities at the museum. 2019 is the 50th anniversary of the Union School becoming the museum so take a few minutes and stop in to show your support.
