tvmmilon to the roret
of the building n4 to hear of
their plan to preserve pioneer
relic and other Items of hUtor
leal vu relating to the people
of Morrow county.
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. Con
struction has begun on the cab

ed Mr Duvall. The thln
will all be u-aled Into this living
Mum to that It will l free from
Jutt and always tale.
Mrs Ted Smith. Heppner, the
fourth woman member tf the
communion explained that the
city of Heppner will contribute
to the upkeep of the library,
part of the museum and the
grounds around It.
She also explained that In ad
ilitlon to the building Itself, the
fixture!!, the furnishings and
equipment would cost from
$7,000 to $10,000. She urged that
people and organizations Inter
ested In the completion of the
project donate whatever amounts
they could.
"A public record will be kept
if all donations." explained Mrs
Smith, "checks should be made
to the Morrow county museum
commission, Heppner."
Exsibit application blanks
were given out to each unit at
this meeting by Miss Klrmls.
Suggested exhibits Included art
icles that were brought to Ore
con by the pioneers, Indian rel
ics, rocks and ores, old furniture,
aid dishes, clothing, pictures and
tin types, lamps, spinning
wheels, marble top tables, things

pictures of the flood, guns and
saddles.
According to the museum com
mission the ownership of these
exhibits may remain In the fanv
ily and may be claimed at any
time.
"Exhibits will not be sold or
traded to another museum", an
nounced Mrs Duvall. "We wish
Morrow county things to remain
In the county."
Exhibit application blanks
sent to Mrs Harry Duvall, chair
man of the museum committee.
Application blanks may be ob
tained from her.
