Bollinger Co. museum Wonderful!

[mamabear]

went with friends yesterday to see the changes at the local little museum. the last time I was there the building was falling down & they were having a benifit to fix it & start the museum, about 8 yrs ago. I was so surprised & happy to see how it's grown & to see all the different collections donated.
I hope if anyone is in the area you will stop in & see it. You won't be dissapointed.

I agree that the Bollinger County Museum is wonderful. They have had excellent presentations on the Civil War in southern Missouri by area historians who really know the subject. There was this guy, Glenn, I think his first name may have been, who came over from southern Illinois to give a presentation that was truly excellent.

I need to check to see if I am still on their email list for events. Last time I went, I was nearly creamed on highway 25 (?) when a mini van decided to go around a huge ag sprayer that had created a cloud of dust. Just as I was passing the ag sprayer in that cloud, the mini van, which was behind it, decided to pull into my lane. Lucky for all, that I was going slow, saw them and yanked my truck over onto the shoulder. They passed with no more than an inch to spare on either side of their vehicle.

So, I am kind of leery about going, as it is a 2 hour drive for me.

But, agree... it is worth the trip.... at least once.... and then for their civil war presentations.... they do an excellent job of getting knowledgeable historians in for those events.
