Museum Musings
by Kay Proctor
Both the Morrow Coun
ty Agricultural Museum on
Heppner’s Riverside Street
and the Heritage Museum on
Main Street are closed for
the season for work on ex

reopen in time for Heppner’s
St. Patrick’s Celebration in
March. For tours or informa

Cliff Green, Secretary/Trea
surer Larry Mills, Museum
Director Kay Proctor or the
following Board members:
Betty Carlson, Bob Jepsen,
M erle C o w ett, B utch
Laughlin, Jim Hayes or Bob
Harrison.
The Heritage Museum had
over 700 visitors this past
season. Visitors came from
21 states and from six coun
tries - Ireland, Germ any,
New Zealand, South Africa,
R ussia and Egypt. Some
comments made in the mu
seum’s guest book were “a
gold mine of info,” “amaz
ing family history,” “very
well kept and com plete,”
“aw esom e,” “very enjoy
able,” “I'm coming back,”
“marvelous,” “cool stuff,”
“great displays,” and “won
derful volunteers.”
Our “wonderful volun
teers” include the following
who served at the front desk
this past season: Dave and
Neva DeMayo, Melissa Jo
M onaco, D orris G raves,
Dorothy Lucille Kostechka,
D oris B rosnan, B arbara
B lo o dsw orth,
F orrie
B urkenbine, Kelly Fritz,

Fishbum and museum board
members. Joe Burleson was
a steady volunteer at the Ag
Museum.
Long-term goals at the
Ag Museum include diora
mas displayed in outdoor
shelters.
Cindy Breidenbech served
many hours as our Family
and Local History volun
teer, with support of her
husband, John, and her
grandson, M ichael, our
youngest volunteer.
B ehind the scenes
workers include Les and
Janice Paustain, Earl Fish-
bum. Carl and Amy Drake,
Debbie and Bruce Young,
Judy L aughlin, Sharon
H arrison and C h errie
Clark.
The museum’s school-
house located in the city
park received a fresh coat
of paint and repair work
thanks to a generous donor
who wishes to be anony
mous.
Sadly, the ornate out
house behind the school
was damaged by a fallen
tree limb during a recent
storm and was deemed to
be unrepairable.
The Oregon Trail Li
brary staff are great neigh
bors to the Heritage Mu
seum , and the museum
sends its appreciation to
Barbara Orwick, Margaret
Flaherty and Marcia Rich
mond.
Watch for enhanced ex
hibits of local geology and
“Days of Sorrow," our per
manent exhibit of the June
14, 1903 flood, the largest
natural disaster in the his
tory of Oregon.
Please contact us if you
would like to join our great
group of volunteers in any
capacity.
