Wyandot County Museum’s 2017 Ice Cream Social

This year’s Ice Cream Social was a huge success! Attendees enjoyed perfect weather, food, antique cars, the community band, carriage rides, and a display by the Red Cross. WXML was also on hand during the social. This year the ice cream came from Velvet Ice Cream because Toft’s refused to guarantee that they would deliver the ice cream!  A big thank you goes out to all the sponsors, volunteers and bakers who helped make this years social such a big success!!!

Junior Historians’ Day Camp

The Junior Historians had a fun and educational 3 day camp. During the day camp, they learned about WWI, early home remedies and medicines,home safety from volunteers from the red cross, and many other things.  They also made crafts and had delicious snacks.

Big Changes Starting Soon!

      The museum’s paint is peeling!  Unfortunately it is lead paint, so it has to be removed with special chemicals. Then repaired and repainted. This means the museum will remain white!    If you would like to help make this happen, donations would be appreciated!
