Saturday, February 23, the Pioneer Button Club will explain military and uniform buttons, how buttons are made and from what materials, and numerous other fun facts about buttons.
Event begins at 1 o'clock with a presentation from Pioneer Button Club members, then question and answer period with group. Stay and talk as long as you like, the museum is open until 5. You may want to bring a chair as seating is limited and parking is in the rear of the museum building. Admission is FREE!!! Peggy Cristobal has been gone more than a year now, but the summer before she passed away, she worked on research for her "Rogerson" book, here at the museum. She would often share a tidbit she had stashed away and this newspaper clipping is one.

Elmer Haag carved a number of figures, boxes and animals that he sent to his sister Eileen Allison in Reno. Eileen's daughter Kristen Avansino has donated these to the Historical Society and they will be on display at the museum. We appreciate all the donations received, especially those as unique and appropriate to our mission as this one. There a several carvings which will be accessioned into the museum as a collection, complete with provenance and photos. Many thanks to the family of Elmer and Eileen.
Learn about how the problem of over watering was resolved in this program by Brian Olmstead, Twin Falls Canal Company Manager. Brian has a power point presentation that will last about an hour.
