One of the major grant recipients, to update the exhibit.

Rennels says they also received local funding for the project.

An anonymous donor provided $6,000 for cases.

They also received a gift from the George and Rosina Harter family of an antique Studebaker wagon from their nearby farm to fill a needed missing piece in the museum’s exhibit.

Rennels says the exhibit is expected to be completed and open by January of 2025.
