We have a long wish list of things we'd like to get done.
Here are a few:
Like to meet people? Join other members for a few hours as Society representatives at local historical events.
Two events in September where we will set up a table with publications are coming up and we need help.
Can you lay carpet? Help us lay carpet in the back entrance hall. We have the carpet tiles, but don't have the knives necessary to cut them or the expertise.
Like to mow? We could use someone else to help with yard work.
Know calligraphy or have a nice "hand"? Help us create labels for the artifacts on display.
Like to solve mysteries? Help us research several Civil War Veterans buried in the Danberry Family Cemetery in Montgomery Twsp. If interested, call the house for one of the names., see whatyou can find, and rwrite a brief summaryof your findings to share with the Society via our newsletter.
Like to sew? Help us complete costumes for our docents to wear. We nhave the pattern nd several vests ready to be sown.
