Museuming Museum prepares for new book, recipes needed Spring is so incredible. However, we always have the cold snap at Easter but from year to year, we forget. This year we are having visitors from all over and they seem to appreciate us being here waiting for them. The tourists are like the birds; in the spring, they come and in the fall, they fly away. At the museum we are preparing for the new book “Windows to the History of North Marshall County and Red Banks and Recipes From the Best Cooks in the World!” If you have Marshall County history, old photographs, genealogy and interesting stories of this area, please bring them in to the museum and if possible, we will use them. We are working on the annual history tour and the Holiday House tour (already)! We are working on the Historama Extravaganza Birthday Party of Marshall County and Holly Springs which will be held on September 8. The Hummingbird Festival will be at the same time and we are expecting a big crowd. We are appealing to the retired or working adults to ask for help and to the teenagers to come help us as volunteers. It isn’t possible to put on something of this magnitude without help. I have been stunned that not everybody wants to celebrate our birthday. They think we should wait for 30 years and celebrate our 200th birthday party, which I hope someone will, but it won’t be me and maybe not you. For the birthday celebration we plan races, contests, games and lots of food. Our museum shop is full to the brim with Mississippi souvenirs, local books, postcards, T-shirts, flags, Civil War memorabilia, old fashioned toys, so come to do your shopping here. We are open seven days this week and hereafter we will be open five days a week. Ashley Forester chosen DAR Good Citizen recipient
