We were blown away by the turnout at Sunday’s Open House! Hearing your stories and seeing your enthusiasm for the Farber Depot made one thing very clear: it’s time to bring this landmark back to life.
We are officially moving forward with the renovation project! Our first priority is repairing the roof to protect the interior from further damage. Keep an eye out for fundraising news and upcoming community events—we can't wait to do this together

It "was" beginning to look like Christmas, but Christmas this year is supposed to be about 70 degrees! The lights on the history museum were added this year and really add a warmth to the downtown. This is also a reminder about the dinner and card party in January, remember ticket sales must be purchased by December 31.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
