The 'dream' fimt began In IMS," reported Mrs Omar Rlet man, lone, a member of the museum commission. "When the home and community living committee met for the ten year Town and Country Planning Lonrerence. At that time", .lie continued, -we were thinking of un-coni centennial celebration and felt that It should be brought to the attention of the People of the county that the rencs relating to pioneer life and the people of the county, that naq an actual part In this life, were rapidly disappearing. If these mementos were not preser ved, the future generations would be deprived of the oppor tunity or seeing them and learn ing the accurate history connec ted with them." "I remember saying at that time that I wished we could have a museum to keep all these things." Joined In Mrs Ralph Thompson, Heppner, another member of the commission. "You can well imagine our sur prise when Robert Abrams, local atorney. announced at one of our planning meetings that someone was willing to build a museum." A commission was formed to accept the donation and the group began working In 1959 on plans for the structure. The museum, a 54x72 foot building of concrete tile with brick veneer finish, Is the gift of Mrs Harry Duvall, Heppner as a memorial to her late hus band. It Is built on the south end of the Heppner city park. The south portion of the build ing will be occupied by the museum and the north half by the library. It will be operated Jointly by the city of Heppner and the county. The women were greatly Im pressed by the beauty of the building with its lovely wood paneling, "marbelizcd" plastic floor, and its good lighting.
