So to prepare our displays for the holiday season, we are seeking on loan the following items:
- Vintage costume jewelry, especially rhinestones and sparkles from the 1930’s 40’s and 50’s
- Antique toys from the 1930’s 40’s and 50’s and earlier
- GI letters/cards sent home during the War I & II
In 2014 Versailles will mark 200 years since the first land grants were sold and Wayne Township was established. We will be doing a display of first of First Families. So if you have connections to those early settlers we would love to display beginning the first of the year, treasured family items, small furniture, and photos of those early pioneers. Also we are looking for military items from War of 1812, Mexican American War, Spanish American War and Civil War; these would be welcome editions to our excellent Military Room.
Also as we decorate for the season we are always in need of dried hydrangeas, snow balls, wheat, cocks comb, pheasant feathers, berries on branches and small tree branches. These items will be collected at the museum on Saturday, November 9th from nine till noon.
Also volunteer decorators are needed on Nov. 13 & 14 both morning and evening shifts are available. To volunteer, donate, or to just contact us, please call the museum at (937) 526-4222 and leave a message. We will be glad to get back to you!
