The museum is accessible to everyone, with a ramp in the north parking lot. Refreshments will be served.
The weekend before, Morrison Historical Society has a treat for the public, during Paint the Town, Saturday, September 17. Look for their Ice Cream Social. Members will serve homemade pies and cakes and Kenny VenHuizen’s scrumptious, handmade ice cream. Listen for his on-site, “hit-and-miss” engine churning the creamy goodness. Sweets will be served from noon until sellout.
