The museum’s temporary exhibit “1925: Celebrating our first year as a city”, will open with a public reception on Saturday evening May 16, following the dedication of the new Lincoln Park Heritage Plaza on the museum grounds.

Many of the items on display will afterward be placed in a permanent museum exhibit covering the 1920s era and documenting the swift growth of our young town from more than a century of life as a sleepy, rural farm community.
