Hello again everyone!

February begins our planning for the coming open season. Again this year we have projects for volunteers who want to help and enjoy Historic Valentown.

This year we are still focusing on the history of women's right to vote. Our new Susan B. Anthony exhibit will be refreshed and added to. For our visitors who come to see the case on the 2nd floor, they can opt to don some bits of costume and have their picture taken in front of the case featuring our precious items that were once hers. And we will e-mail you an old fashion looking snap to share with your friends! (You'll have to give us your email address so we can identify the picture with you.) This will be fun! And with your written permission we will record your photo in our archives gallery for future generations to see.

Let's all celebrate and let's make sure we take the time to exercise our right to participate in elections by voting.

Now for some really big news! We were gobsmacked to find out that across the pond over in the UK a popular country rock singer, Frank Walsh, has formed a new band named after us! And that's not all! The first CD includes a song that Frank said he was inspired to write after reading up about our romantic little museum! The song is called "Valentown" and it is sooooo good! If you like country rock (and who doesn't??) you can listen to a YouTube version of it on our sites new 'Videos & Media' section. Check it out: http://historicvalentownmuseum.org/mediagallery/media.php?f=0&sort=0&s=20180221160443772

Well, even though we are almost to spring, it's not uncommon to see the tug of war between winter and spring, as visually evidenced by seeing robins in the snow. But we and the robins will get there yet!

Best of health and happiness to you and all of yours.
