The Wyoming Historical Society celebrated the opening of the Wyoming History Museum in the historical society space at the City Building, 800 Oak St., on Thursday, September 21 at 7 p.m.
The celebration began in the City Council chambers and then moved down to the lower level of the building where the museum is located. Mayor Barry Porter officiated and Historical Society President Mary Killen and longtime member Jenni McCauley also spoke at the opening.
The new museum features exhibits about important early figures, such as Col. Robert Reily, and about Wyoming’s role in significant historical events, such as the Civil War and World War II. There are also artifacts from the Wyoming School District, such as two May Fete quilts and sports memorabilia, plus displays about transportation, Wyoming authors and artists, and much more.
The museum will be open to the public Tuesdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and by appointment. For more information contact Sherry Sheffield, sherry@shers.com.
