SCHOOL TOUR
Thursday, May 11th, the Baker School 4th graders spent a busy morning at the museum. Each class participated in five different stations covering Indians, Railroad, Cowboys, One Room Schoolhouse and Military. The morning was finished with a very challenging scavenger hunt covering a broad range of Hemphill County history. We could not have done this without great volunteers, they included: Warren and Jane Rivers, Sally Anderson, Maureen “Mo” Scott, Paula Forrest, Ilene Floyd and John McGarr. I hope the students had fun, we sure did.
EXHIBITS
“Wedding Dresses of the Past” will be up through May 19th. This has been a very interesting and popular exhibit.
