A reminder that the Truman Historical Museum’s winter hours are 1-4 p.m. Fridays. Volunteers have been updating and rearranging the exhibits. Duplicates of some items have been discovered. If you would like to come and see what’s available, you can purchase these items for a small donation.

Jane Traver and Penny Ritter use their many talents to showcase items from the museum in the front windows. The east window now shows pictures of Truman’s first basketball team along with pictures and trophies from many decades of Truman High School basketball. The west window is “all white” depicting our winter color. White items from throughout the museum are displayed in a historical and “white” way.

Please make a point to stop in the museum and see what changes have been made.
