The historical society had been a part of the past two Magic Valley Memories books, but unfortunately, the Times News chose not to include us in latest book. We receive numerous donations of local photographs and are happy to accept these donations. The photos are scanned and turned into slideshows that play on our digital frames and computers.
Recently Tara Fiscus brought in some photos that include her father, Johnny Meyers, who did the first restoration work on the Perrine Stagecoach. Dick Tucker donated a photo of boys that graduated from Union School in 1943. (Their teacher took them to the Rogerson Hotel for a celebration dinner.) Darrell Buffaloe will be here to present his Railroad History program on Saturday, March 23. Admission is free and everyone is welcome.
We have a few new articles that were donated today, including two pairs of goggles, house jack, weed wacker (the manual kind), and several other things. Thanks to Don McEwen for bringing them in. Dick Tucker and Tara Fiscus donated some photographs that are scanned and will be put on a slideshow for viewing. April 20th is history day and we are looking for interested parties that would like to help with demonstrations or races. We have the weavers and spinners coming back this year as well as Steve Slifer with his cobbler tools, Virginia Tucker with the hand cranked sewing machine, the button club, as well as other exhibits and presentations. Call us if you would like to be a part of any event or a general volunteer. |
