Members-only Sneak Peek
Thursday, April 25, 6:00 to 7:30 pm
Museum Building
Members, drop in for a special members-only sneak peek of the North and East Galleries and to enjoy conversation with other members and light refreshments.
In the East Gallery, you will see a contemporary living room, technology, and toy display that will make you nostalgic for your younger days. In the North Gallery, you will find a 2024-only display titled “Madison County Alphabet Soup” where every letter of the alphabet is represented by an artifact from our county’s history.
Not a member? Well, then, this is the perfect time to sign up for an annual or life membership, especially during our “120 Members for 120 Years” membership campaign. Find membership information here.
Monthly Hill O’ Beans Coffee Social
May 14, 9:00 am
Museum Lounge
Join us each month on the second Tuesday at 9 a.m. for a short presentation on a historic topic and to share your insights. This event is free and open to the public.
This month’s topic will be “Show and Tell” and YOU are the presenter! Well, at least for 2-3 minutes, when you share the story of an item from your own “personal history” with those who attend. And if you’d just like to listen, that is great, too.
Museum Volunteer Training
May 14, 10:00 am
Museum Lounge
We are thankful for our many faithful volunteers but would love to add YOU to this group. There are two volunteers at the Museum seven days a week, for only 5 hours each day. You can sign up for one day a week, one day a month, or more often. You don’t need to be an expert in Madison County history to help out since training and scripts are provided. All that is required is a love of talking with people about what the Museum Complex has to offer.
We invite you to our free no-obligation volunteer training and museum tour on May 14, just after our Hill O’Beans presentation, to learn more!
