Episode 21

The History Museum

Published on: 15th October, 2023

The History Museum has seen many changes in its almost 150 year existence, but one thing is for sure, the entire area is blessed to have one of the oldest and largest historical societies in our state, right here in our own back yard.  

In this episode, I meet with the Deputy Executive Director of The History Museum, Kristie Erickson.  We start our talk in her museum office, where we discuss the history of the museum and EVERYTHING that it offers our community. You would be amazed to find out all of the things that go on behind the scenes to bring the beautiful exhibits to life!  We end our chat actually walking on the museum floor, highlighting some of their cool (and CREEPY) exhibits!
