Blogging…hummm, this is not something I ever thought I'd be doing, but I'm doing lots of things I didn't dream of doing, and I'm enjoying most all of them. One of the best of these unexpected things is the Museum. No one that ever knew me would have thought I would be doing this. But it is one of the most rewarding things I have done.

We are making plans to start a new project we're calling "Lost Communities: Places To Come Home To". The whole idea is to preserve the memories of places like the Northern Ohio and Spear Lake communities that were busy, bustling little places only a few years ago but today no longer exist. We will need your help to accomplish this project and we will be calling on you…so get ready!

The picture on the right is of miniatures we have in the Museum of a "Shotgun" house and a church. We also have a "Dogtrot" house and a cabin. Come on by and see us first chance you have!

Well, back into the archives for now. More soon…

Great blog, Soozi. I'm starting to help out at the museum and I want to say that Soozi does a great job at presenting the exhibits and if you sit and talk to her for just a few minutes, you will tell she has a passion for what she is doing. I didn't think there was not much to working in a museum, I thought you just sat there waiting for someone to come in. No, Soozie always has so many things going on at once. She's either working on one of the many project or cataloging every item in the museum. And she does all of this on a volunteer basis and gets no money at all. It's really good to know that we still have people in society today that do this kind of stuff. I think Soozi needs to appreciation that she deserves. So, next time your out, go by the museum, the medical exhibit is a sight to see for sure!
